Used WATERS / MICROMASS Q-TOF #9213947 for sale

WATERS / MICROMASS Q-TOF (Quadrupole Time-of-Flight) Spectrometer is an advanced analytical instrument that combines the power of a quadrupole mass filter and a time-of-flight mass analyzer with single-mode ion optics to provide high-resolution, accurate mass measurements. This spectrometer is capable of making fast and accurate mass analyses separated by time-of-flight technology to offer qualitative and quantitative data of a wide range of sample types and mass ranges. WATERS Q-TOF spectrometer is powered by a quadrupole mass filter which consists of four rods for controlling and focusing ions; the ions enter the mass filter and are then selectively transmitted to the time-of-flight analyzer. This allows mass resolution to be controlled, providing the ability to distinguish between closely related molecules. The time-of-flight mass analyzer is a source of electrons that ionize the target molecules; the electrons then travel through a long drift tube, which can measure mass and peak shapes to very high accuracy and resolution. The time-of-flight spectrometer also incorporates Automatic Background-subtraction Equipment (ABS) technology to ensure accurate measurements in complex mixtures. This technology also provides ultra-high sensitivity and low noise measurements, with low limits of detection. In addition, MICROMASS QTOF spectrometer incorporates optics systems that provide flexibility and productivity in studying liquid samples. This optics system consists of a reflectron, which separates ions on the basis of their time-of-flight and a focusing ion optics unit for mass selection and ion concentration focusing. The machine also includes a high-sensitivity detector array, which allows for high ion detectability even in background noise. In summary, WATERS QTOF is a powerful spectrometer enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis of a wide range of compounds. Its quadrupole mass filter combined with its time-of-flight technology provides good accuracy, resolution, and low limits of detection. The advanced optics systems provide flexibility, productivity, and high sensitivity and ion detectability in complex mixtures.
