Sciex 6500+ QTrap LC/MS

Major Functions / Key Features

The Sciex 6500+ Liquid chromatography/Electrospray lonization - QTrap Mass Spectrometer (LC/ESI-Qtrap MS) allows quantification of target analytes in complex biological and chemical samples with high sensitivity (typically low ppb level) and specificity.  It also permits qualitative confirmation of compounds through high quality product ion scan and MS³ scan.  It is equipped with an ion-mobility device for separation of isomeric compounds and reduction in background interference.
