TSQ Quantum is a high-performance triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, featuring an injection pump, six-port valve, atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source, and Xcalibur data system. It offers various injection methods for sample analysis, including direct injection, injection into the LC flow, and flow injection analysis. This instrument is suitable for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis, enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis of samples.
The Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum is a high-performance triple quadrupole mass spectrometer designed for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis. The instrument includes an injection pump, a six-port valve, an atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source, and the Xcalibur data system. It supports both Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) modes for analyzing polar and non-polar compounds, respectively. This manual is written in Chinese.
| Ionization Modes | ESI and APCI |
|---|---|
| Flow Rate Range (APCI) | 0.2 to 2 mL/min |
| Included Components | Injection pump, six-port valve, API source, Xcalibur system |
Electrospray Ionization (ESI) is typically used for polar compounds such as amines, peptides, and proteins.
Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) is typically used for non-polar compounds such as steroids.
The mass spectrometer should be tuned and calibrated every one to three months.
