Thermo Scientific Orbitrap IQ-X LC/MS

Major Functions / Key Features

The Thermo Scientific Orbitrap IQ-X Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometer (LC/MS) is an ultra-high resolution LC/MS specalised for small molecule analysis. This instrument offers high mass accuracy, high sensitivity, fast acquisition rate and multistage fragmentation (MSn) function, allowing identification of unknown compounds in trace amount with high level of confidence. Besides, it operates with an intelligent and user-friendly data acquisition program, which is built-in with various one-click method templates for convenient execution of different data acquisition modes.
