Used WATERS 2996 #9386148 for sale

WATERS 2996 is a spectrometer used in scientific research and teaching laboratories. It is capable of performing a range of analytical techniques, including liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), capillary electrophoresis (CE), and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The instrument provides the highest sensitivity, resolution and accuracy to help identify and quantify compounds in a variety of different samples. A key feature of 2996 is its triple quadrupole design. This setup allows the device to fragment and measure ions from the same samples. An ion source such as an Electrospray Ionization (ESI) source is used to convert liquids or solids into gaseous ions, which then enter the first quadrupole. This quadrupole is used to select a specific range of ion masses and then passes them to the second quadrupole. Here, the ions are subjected to further selection, where they can be either fragmented or retained before entering the third quadrupole. Finally, the ions make it to the detector, where their masses and relative abundances can be measured and recorded. WATERS 2996 is highly versatile and can be tailored to suit the needs of different laboratories. Its modular design makes customizing the instrument easy and its intuitive software allows for smooth operation. It has a maximum temperature of 224°C for GC/MS, and 1400°C (1600°C in selected regions) for LC/MS. It has a mass range of up to 5500 m/z and up to 6.4 kV for CE. It also has features such as the autocalibration of the source temperature and the dynamic selection of scan functions. 2996 is widely used in the fields of medicine, toxicology, forensic science, environmental science, and food science. It is a valuable tool that enables the detection of compounds that may be difficult to find with other methods. Its accuracy and reliability make it a preferred instrument for laboratories worldwide.
