Used THERMO SCIENTIFIC Q Exactive HF #293647096 for sale

THERMO SCIENTIFIC Q Exactive HF is a powerful high-resolution hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer designed for detailed analysis of compounds and metabolites. This advanced analytical instrument provides details about the chemical identity, structure, and abundance of compounds in complex mixtures such as those found in biological samples. The spectrometer includes a high-performance quadrupole, an Orbitrap mass analyzer, an electron spray ionization (ESI) or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) source, a probe, and an auto-sampler. The device can operate in either positive or negative mode, allowing it to measure ions of charged molecules or non-charged molecules, respectively. The quadrupole is a four-pole ion guide that is used to filter and separate ions by mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). The Orbitrap mass analyzer is an electromagnetically charged field in which ions are stored and then analyzed based on their m/z. The ESI source emits a stream of charged particles (ions) for analysis, while the MALDI source uses a laser to accelerate charged particles. The probe is an assembly of lenses and mirrors that directs ions from the source to the mass analyzers. Q Exactive HF also features an intuitive user interface, making it easy to operate and customize. The device has a range of sophisticated data-processing options, from basic processing of data to advanced algorithms such as advanced peak shape analysis and peak centroiding. The spectrometer is also capable of extended dynamic range and mass resolving power, enabling researchers to detect molecules with a high degree of accuracy and sensitivity. Overall, THERMO SCIENTIFIC Q Exactive HF is a reliable and powerful mass spectrometer that can be used for a variety of analytical needs. The precision and accuracy of its measurement capabilities make it an excellent choice for scientists in laboratories that require the highest levels of performance in chemical and metabolite analysis.
