Used THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Velos #9106698 for sale

THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Velos is a high-resolution, quadrupole-based spectrometer that combines tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) with OrbitrapTM technology. This instrument is used in a variety of laboratories such as proteomics, metabolomics and drug discovery. LTQ Velos works by converting sample molecules into their fragment ions by applying an electrical field that causes them to lose a specific amount of energy. These fragment ions are then analyzed in a linear quadrupole ion trap where they undergo collision-induced dissociation (CID) to generate more fragment ions. Finally, the fragment ions are analyzed in the high-resolution, high-mass-accuracy OrbitrapTM analyzer in order to provide the precise data needed. THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Velos has a number of features that make it an ideal choice for many applications. It has the highest resolution and separation of any ion trap, up to 100,000 resolution and subfemtomole level of detection accuracy. The CID fragmentation capabilities of the instrument are second to none, as it can go from low to high quasismetric energy transfer (QET) levels across a variety of mass ranges. This ensures that the instrument is able to detect a wider range of molecules, even those that are difficult to detect in their intact state. Additionally, LTQ Velos boasts a robust performance with a high-level of reproducibility. This ultimately translates to a very reliable system that can consistently deliver accurate results in a timely manner. In terms of sample handling capabilities, THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Velos is compatible with both gas and liquid sources. It can accept both direct samples, such as those that are delivered from a chromatography system, as well as complex mixtures for comprehensive analysis. Additionally, the instrument is very sensitive and can detect structural isomers, enabling it to easily identify these compounds which can often be overlooked with other techniques. The versatility of LTQ Velos allows it to be used in a variety of laboratories, from those focused on proteomics to drug discovery and analysis of complex samples. With its high resolution, robust performance, and compatibility with both gas and liquid sources, this instrument is the ideal solution for those looking for reliable results time and time again.
