Used THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap XL #9315701 for sale

THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap XL is a high-performance benchtop mass spectrometer designed for proteomics and metabolomics applications. The instrument features a linear ion trap (LTQ), an Orbitrap analyzer, and a high-resolution automated data acquisition equipment. The LTQ is a quadrupole ion trap that can be used with a variety of sources such as electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). The two main components of LTQ Orbitrap XL are the ion trap and the Orbitrap analyzer. The ion trap is designed to allow easy transfer of ions from the ion source to the Orbitrap analyzer. It is equipped with four segmented rods acting as electric fields for trapping and manipulating ions. The rods are adjustable, which allows the alternating current trapping voltage to be optimized for a variety of analytes. The LTQ is also equipped with an ion shuttling mechanism which is used to transfer ions from the ion source into the Orbitrap analyzer. The Orbitrap analyzer is a Fourier-transform ion cyclotron (FTIC) mass spectrometer equipped with an axial electrodynamic trap. The high-resolution data acquisition system enables measurements of up to 400,000 resolution at m/z 400. The Orbitrap analyzer is highly sensitive with the ability to detect ions at levels as low as 10 picomolar. Additionally, it uses high-speed data acquisition to minimize heating and fragmentation of ions. In addition to the two main components, THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap XL also has other features to enhance performance and user experience. It is equipped with a differential ion mobility spectrometry (DIMS) device which can separate ions by size and shape allowing for increased detection sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, the unit includes a vacuum-based pneumatic ion manipulation machine, an active ultrahigh-vacuum transfer port, and a multivariate data processing software for automated data analysis. LTQ Orbitrap XL is an advanced, high-performance mass spectrometer that is widely used in proteomics and metabolomics research. With its combination of the linear ion trap and Orbitrap analyzer it is capable of highly sensitive and accurate measurements, with minimal ion heating and fragmentation. Additionally, it boasts features such as the DIMS device and the automated data processing software, making it an ideal choice for researchers who are looking for a versatile, reliable instrument.
