Used WATERS / MICROMASS QTOF Micro #293651304 for sale

WATERS / MICROMASS QTOF Micro is a powerful spectrometer designed to identify and analyze the composition of chemical mixtures. This state-of-the-art instrument uses a combination of quadrupole and time-of-flight mass analyzers to provide rapid, accurate, and detailed data on the composition of complex mixtures. The quadrupole mass analyzer is at the heart of WATERS QTOF system. This component of the instrument works by allowing ions to pass through an electric field, while simultaneously measuring and recording their mass-to-charge ratios (m/z). The time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer is a secondary component of the instrument that provides additional mass resolution. In contrast to the quadrupole analyzer, which scans for specific m/z ratios, the TOF detector measures the time at which ions pass through an acceleration tube and then calculates their m/z ratio based on the time. WATERS QTOF Micro also features a patented reflectron to improve the mass resolution of the TOF detector. This optional reflectron measures the energy of an ion beam before it reaches the detector and directs ions of different energies down different paths. This helps eliminate interferences and enhances the accuracy and resolution of the mass analysis. The combined use of the quadrupole and time-of-flight mass analyzers makes MICROMASS Q-TOF MICRO an ideal tool for the accurate analysis of complex mixtures. The system is capable of detecting minute differences in mass-to-charge ratios, and due to its simultaneous analysis of multiple substances, it can analyze the relative composition of complex mixtures quickly and with high sensitivity. In addition to its mass analysis capabilities, Q-TOF MICRO includes auxiliary features such as a range of vacuum pumps, an ESI source of high-voltage electricity, a vacuum chamber for sample preparation, and a data processing system. This powerful combination of hardware and software provide a comprehensive solution for the accurate analysis of chemical mixtures. Overall, MICROMASS QTOF Micro is a high-performance spectrometer for the sensitive, detailed, and fast analysis of complex mixtures. The instrument's combination of cutting-edge quadrupole and time-of-flight mass analyzers, in conjunction with its wide array of auxiliary components, provide a comprehensive solution for accurately assessing the composition of chemical mixtures.
