Used WATERS / MICROMASS LCT #38247 for sale

WATERS / MICROMASS LCT is an advanced spectrometer designed for content identification, structure elucidation and quantitative analysis. It consists of three components: an ion source for generating samples; a mass analyzer for measuring their weight-to-charge ratios (m/z); and a data equipment to collate, store, and interpret the results. The ion source employed is typically an electrospray ionization (ESI) source for its suitability for handling solutions with large ion concentrations. The mass analyzer used is a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS). This technology offers superior sensitivity and accuracy to other traditional detectors, with high mass range and resolution. The data system comprises an interface with a computer and suitable software to facilitate both the operation of the spectrometer, and the subsequent analysis and interpretation of the data. When used to identify compounds and characterize them, this unit is an indispensable tool. It is useful in cases where compounds must be resolved in complex mixtures, due to the high mass resolution and accuracy of the TOFMS technology coupled with the increased sensitivity of ESI. The mass spectrometer can also measure the exact concentrations of compounds, by taking multiple measurements within a given sample, and distinguishing between similar molecules based on their different m/z values. This machine can also be used for quantitative analysis, due to its ability to measure target compounds in complex solutions. WATERS LCT is a powerful and versatile tool for chemists and laboratories that need to identify, characterize and quantify a variety of compounds and mixtures quickly, accurately and reliably. It is capable of handling a wide range of molecular types and masses, which makes it an ideal choice for applications where speed, efficiency, accuracy and precision are paramount.
