Used THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ #9054489 for sale

THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ is a high performance Fourier Transform (FT) Mass Spectrometer, designed specifically to provide accurate, precise and reliable data in a range of different analytical situations. The equipment offers the flexibility to easily switch between mass analyzers such as the linear trap quadrupole (LTQ), Orbitrap, quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF), and ion-trap technologies. THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ mass spectrometer has a wide dynamic range and is able to analyse masses from single digits to above 10,000 m/z in one single experiment. The instrument is capable of both tandem and high mass resolution experiments and is designed to analyse samples across multiple ranges. With the ability to select between multiple source temperature, ionization and fragmentation processes, it allows for a wide range of applications in study areas such as metabolomics, proteomics and small molecule analysis. LTQ is equipped with an ion spray source which enables the detection of both positive and negative ions, meaning that a range of sample charges can be analysed. The source also offers multiple ionization techniques such as Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and AtmoSpheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) to facilitate soft and hard ionization. THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ is also equipped with an ion trap detector which enables the system to analyse multiple alluvial charge fractions simultaneously in a single experiment. This means that the unit is able to carry out fragment-ion scanning and neutral loss scanning without needing to re-inject a sample. This is highly beneficial in matrices with complex mixtures which requires the analysis of multiple components in a single experiment. LTQ also offers the ability to select between multiple fragmentations techniques. Among these are: collision induced dissociation (CID), higher energy C-trap dissociation (HCD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD). This enables the user to further tailor their experiment to their needs. Finally, the machine is also equipped with a range of software options to facilitate data analysis. These include software suites and algorithms such as MaxEnt, the Charge Identification Algorithm (CIB) and OnyxCX. These further improve the tool's capability of separating individual components and extracting meaningful data from complex mixtures. In conclusion, THERMO SCIENTIFIC LTQ Mass Spectrometer is a powerful and versatile tool for a range of analytical applications. It's advanced features, such as the multiple source temperature, ionization and fragmentation processes allow for great flexibility and accuracy when analysing a variety of samples. The ability to select between multiple software options further enhances the asset's capability, allowing it to provide data at a level of precision that is suitable for a range of different scientific and industrial applications.
