Thermo Scientific LTQ ORBITRAP XL
The LTQ Orbitrap XL™ is ideal for high-resolution (up to 100,000) accurate mass measurements (~2 ppm) and structural characterization of individual compounds and complex mixtures with very high sensitivity. It provides a wide dynamic range, outstanding mass accuracy,and fast cycle times for MS/MS experiments.
The instrument is used for the characterization of intact proteins, top-down and bottom up proteomics, for the analyses of carbohydrates, oligonucleotides, estrogens, alkaloids, and glycerides.
