Used THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap #9382408 for sale

THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap is a highly advanced and sophisticated mass spectrometry device that enables scientists and researchers to analyze complex biological samples with accuracy and precision. This type of spectrometer utilizes a combination of a linear ion trap (LIT) and an Orbitrap, which work together to produce high resolution and accurate mass spectral data. Due to its flexibility, this type of spectrometer can be used in a variety of applications such as proteomic and metabolomic analysis, small molecule analysis, and drug discovery research. LTQ Orbitrap operates using electric and magnetic fields to separate ions according to their mass as they travel through the device. When an ionized sample such as small molecules, peptides, or proteins enters the device, they are injected into the vacuum chamber and focused into a narrow stream to enter the LIT. Inside the LIT, the ions are trapped between two electrodes, then a high-frequency voltage is applied and ions with a defined m/z ratio deflected. The deflected ions are then focused into a single beam and passes through the Orbitrap mass analyzer. The mass analyzer operates on the principles of Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS). In this process, when ions enter the Orbitrap a non-uniform electric field controls their trajectory. Ions then enter a passive area to store energy, before releasing and entering the excitation region and oscillate as they travel towards the detector. By measuring the frequency of the ions, the resolution and accuracy of the spectrum increases significantly. After the process is complete, the LIT and the Orbitrap work together to deliver accurate and precise mass spectral results with high resolution, sensitivity, and accuracy. THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Orbitrap also has several inbuilt features to enhance the accuracy and reliability of the measurements, such as a Smart Data Acquisition feature to store and save data sets with user-defined parameters as well as a dynamic exclusion function to eliminate common contaminants from multiple data sets. With its wide range of features and its ability to provide high-resolution and accurate data, LTQ Orbitrap is a powerful tool for scientists and researchers in proteomics, metabolomics, drug discovery and related research areas.
