The Varian 910-MS Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometer is a high-performance mass spectrometer that provides extremely high mass accuracy, resolving power and sensitivity. It can be used as a stand-alone triple quadrupole or as a true hybrid FTMS system for ESI and LC applications.
The Varian 910-MS is a true hybrid Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometer (FTMS) designed for electrospray ionization (ESI) and liquid chromatography (LC) applications. It combines the capabilities of a traditional triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer with the high performance features of an FTMS, offering versatility in analysis modes such as MS, MS/MS, LC/MS, and various fragmentation techniques including CID, SORI-CID, IRMPD, and ECD.
The instrument features a choice of superconducting magnets ranging from 7 to 15 Tesla, with options for low-loss or Zero Boil-off cryostats. It includes an electrospray interface capable of flow rates from 0.01 L/min to 7.9 mL/min and is equipped with data acquisition hardware including a transient digitizer/accumulator and arbitrary waveform generator. The system runs on Varian MS Workstation and Omega FTMS software for control and analysis.
