Used WATERS / MICROMASS TQD #293658611 for sale

WATERS / MICROMASS TQD (Triple Quadrupole Detector; also known as TQ) is an analytical mass spectrometer used for the quantitative analysis of a wide range of molecules. Unlike single quadrupoles, which are used only to separate and analyze components, a WATERS TQD is used for both separation and quantification of compounds. A MICROMASS TQD consists of three quadrupoles separated by two interface sources. The first quadrupole is used to produce a narrow beam of ions that can be manipulated and focused into the second quadrupole. This second quadrupole can be used to selectively accept or reject ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio and can therefore selectively ionize the analyte of interest, enabling identification, fragmentation, and quantification of the ionized molecules. The third quadrupole is used as a detector for the selected ions. TQD is capable of scanning a wide range of molecular masses to ensure comprehensive coverage of many different components, including proteins, peptides, small molecules, and even complex mixtures of biomolecules. WATERS / MICROMASS TQD is a versatile and user-friendly instrumental platform used for both qualitative and quantitative studies. It can be used for a variety of different applications such as pharmacokinetic studies, clinical studies, drug discovery, metabolite profiling, and proteomics. By using WATERS TQD to perform quantitative analysis, researchers are able to measure concentrations of target molecules with high accuracy and precision. Added flexibility is provided by the ability to use different sources and detectors, allowing for broad compatibility with different types of samples. Moreover, MICROMASS TQD is characterized by high reproducibility and robustness, making it suitable for use in both research and production laboratories. Overall, TQD is a powerful tool for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of complex mixtures. By combining accurate and precise detection, reproducible results, and flexibility for different samples, WATERS / MICROMASS TQD provides an ideal platform for researchers to better understand their biological and chemical systems.
