Used THERMO SCIENTIFIC TSQ Quantum Access Max #293795185 for sale

THERMO SCIENTIFIC TSQ Quantum Access Max is a high performance, triple quadrupole mass spectrometry system that provides more precise accuracies and linearity than its predecessors. It has been designed to meet the needs of today's demanding research studies, offering breakthroughs in quantitation, specificity, and sensitivity. TSQ Quantum Access Max is comprised of three quadrupoles connected in sequence. It uses orthogonal acceleration techniques to isolate and detect ions of different masses in a single experiment. The three orthogonal acceleration stages are the first quadrupole (Q1), the collision cell (Q2), and the third quadrupole (Q3). The mass measurement process is done in order, from Q1 to Q3, for each analyte ion. In the first quadrupole, Q1, the ions are selected based on their m/z ratio. By applying a variable voltage to this quadrupole, ions with a specific m/z ratio can be isolated. This quadrupole also serves to pre-filter ions for further analysis in the second and third quadrupoles. Then, in Q2, the selected ions undergo collisional excitation. Here, the ions interact with a neutral gas, typically helium or nitrogen, that breaks the molecular structure of the ions, resulting in fragment ions. The resulting fragment ions are then brought forward to the third quadrupole, Q3, where they are separated and their masses are precisely measured. THERMO SCIENTIFIC TSQ Quantum Access Max boasts several advantages over its predecessors, such as improved accuracy and linearity, enhanced user-friendliness, and greater resolution. Quality control is also improved with increased confidence in accurate results, which is essential for complex analyses. In addition to precise mass measurement, TSQ Quantum Access Max is also capable of mass spectrometry imaging. This allows users to identify molecules within a sample by producing 2D images of the sample containing identified analytes. This imaging technique is particularly useful in applications such as proteomics and metabolomics. Overall, THERMO SCIENTIFIC TSQ Quantum Access Max is a powerful and versatile spectrometer designed to meet the needs of today's researchers. Its enhanced accuracy and user-friendliness make it an ideal tool for a wide range of applications, from complex mass measurements to mass spectrometry imaging.
