Thermo Electron TSQ Quantum Ultra
TSQ Quantum triple quadrupole system performsvarious types of scans including highlyselectivereactionmonitoring(H-SRM) which analyzes complex samples quickly and efficiently. It is ideal for qualitative and quantitative analyses of individual compounds and complex mixtures.
The instrument is used for targeted qualitative and quantitative analyses of various types of compounds including carbohydrates (sulfated saccharides), drugs (dichlofenac, acetaminophen, rafimpin, fingolimod, resiquimod, suramin, estrogens), environmental pollutants (PFOAs, PFOSs, antibiotics, artificial sweeteners), natural products (marijuana/hemp), vitamins.
- Great versatility with mass range (m/z 30–1500).
- ESI and APCI ionization modes.
- Excellent for quantitative measurements by LC/MS and LC/MS/MS methods.
- Xcalibur Software for instrument control and data analysis.
- Coupled with Agilent 1200 HPLC system operated by ChemStation software.
