December 2014—Laboratories performing food and environmental testing, clinical research, forensic toxicology, pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical measurements, and other applied analyses can now benefit from the performance of high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) Orbitrap mass spectrometry using an instrument designed for cost-per-sample-sensitive workflows.
The Q Exactive Focus benchtop LC-MS/MS from Thermo Scientific combines high-performance quadrupole precursor ion selection with an HRAM Orbitrap mass analyzer, providing mass accuracy, sensitivity, and fast polarity switching. This has been shown to selectively and accurately quantify and confirm analytes with comparable sensitivity to triple quadrupole instruments.
The instrument is designed for quantitation experiments with capabilities that include selected ion monitoring, parallel reaction monitoring, and data-independent acquisition.
