Introduction:
Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Mass Spectrometer is a high resolution mass spectrometer that is capable of collecting high quality MS and tandem MS data for both non-targeted and targeted analysis. The multiple fragmentation techniques (CID, HCD, ETD and EThcD) facilitate diverse applications in chemical and biological research such as accurate mass measurement, structural elucidation of interested analytes, quantitative proteomics, post-translational modifications (PTMs) analysis and lipidomics.

Note to users:
First-time users must be trained by equipment-in-charge before they can use the instrument independently.
Samples should be desalted and purified prior to MS analysis to enhance the detection sensitivity and minimize contamination.
