Mass Spectrometer

The MSQTM Plus Mass Spectrometer can be used in a wide range of applications and methodologies in both HPLC and IC. Only 12 in. wide, the MSQ Plus is by far the most compact mass spectrometer on the market today and offers outstanding performance and functionality. The MSQ Plus features a high-sensitivity, self-cleaning ESI/APCI ionization source that requires no mechanical adjustment or electrostatic focusing for sample optimization. The compact triple orthogonal source design is optimized for a wide range of flow rates and can be used with a wide range of chromatographic buffers. It is designed for laboratories that need universal detection and characterization of analytes in the 17–2000 m/z range.

  • New M PathTM triple orthogonal source technology virtually eliminates neutral noise and background
  • Unique FastLocTM  probes provide simple and rapid mode changes
  • All features of the MSQ Plus are fully supported in the Chromeleon® Chromatography Management software
  • Full scan and Selected Ion Monitoring (SIM) allow for rapid screen and target compound analysis
  • Precision-engineered quadrupole analyzer maximizes resolution and provides high stability and minimal drift
  • Enhanced Low-Mass Option (ELMO) for analytes below 60 m/z
  • All new Ion BrightTM detector system eliminates neutral noise, extending the dynamic range
  • The MSQ Plus features a self-contained reference inlet system for tuning and calibration.
  • Advanced autotuning wizard includes full system optimization and mass scale calibration.
