Used WATERS / MICROMASS QTOF II #168085 for sale

WATERS / MICROMASS QTOF II is a high performance spectrometer designed to accurately measure the mass and concentration of molecules in a sample. It is a quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer, meaning it uses a combination of four electric fields and an ion detector to measure the mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio of ions present in the sample being analyzed. The electric fields work together to focus and transmit the ions, and the time-of-flight (TOF) detector measures the time it takes for the ions to move from the ion source to the detector, allowing for precise measurements of the ion's m/z ratio. The Q-TOF II has an ion source that can be set to different temperatures, which allows it to measure different types of molecules with different ionization methods. It is commonly used in the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds, proteins, peptides, and even sugars and lipids. The ability to accurately measure m/z of different compounds has enabled WATERS QTOF II to be used in many applications. In pharmaceutical research, scientists often use it to develop personalized medicine by measuring the m/z ratio of drug molecules of different experimental formulations in order to optimize their therapeutic effects. Additionally, because it can measure the concentration of different molecules, MICROMASS QTOF II is often used in proteomics studies to detect, identify and quantify proteins in a sample. QTOF II has been instrumental in furthering our understanding of many biological processes, as it can detect protein posttranslational modifications, conformational changes, and more. Another application for WATERS / MICROMASS QTOF II is atmospheric research. Many atmospheric pollutants are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be measured with WATERS QTOF II and its ion source, allowing scientists to measure the levels of pollutants and investigate their sources. In addition, MICROMASS QTOF II can be used in food safety research to measure the concentrations of toxins, allergens and other undesirable conditions in food products. QTOF II combines various spectrometer technologies to deliver accurate mass and concentration measurements of different molecules. It allows researchers to detect, identify and quantify the molecules present in a sample, providing essential information on a variety of areas such as personalized medicine, atmospheric research, proteomics, and food safety. Its versatile applications make WATERS / MICROMASS QTOF II an indispensable part of modern research.
