What is the mass range of the 500-MS?
The mass range is 50 to 2000u.
From: Agilent 500-MS LC Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer Specifications
What is the resolution of the analyzer?
The resolution is less than 0.5u FWHM over the entire range.
From: Agilent 500-MS LC Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer Specifications
What is the main difference between an ion trap mass spectrometer and a triple quadrupole mass filter?
Ion traps store ions simultaneously within trapping electrodes and eject them sequentially, allowing MS/MS in the same space. Triple quadrupoles use separate filters and collision cells distributed in space.
What are the strengths of an ion trap mass spectrometer?
They offer fast, sensitive full scan spectra for MS and MS/MS, excellent high mass sensitivity, structural elucidation capabilities via MSn, and a lower price point.
