Thermo Scientific Exactive Plus Orbitrap LC-MS

Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Exactive Plus Orbitrap LC-MS is a benchtop full scan mass spectrometer designed for compound identification and high-throughput, high-performance screening. The Exactive Plus delivers high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) data and fast, reproducible results for qualitative and quantitative analysis. The availability of HRAM and full scan capability gives you all the data, all the time. It allows retrospective data analysis and eliminates MS method development leading to improved and simplified analytical throughput.Exactive Plus is easy-to-use, cost effective to operate and coupled with workflow-driven software, makes an ideal instrument for new users in routine analytical laboratories.Selected benefits of the Exactive Plus are specified below: High Resolving Power (up to 140,000) - Eliminates isobaric interferences to increase confidence for analysis or complex samples Mass accuracy - Better than 1ppm in full scan and AIF scan using fully automated AGC and mass calibration procedures offers confident identification U-HPLC Scan Speed - The 12Hz scanning frequency of Exactive Plus is fully compatible with U-HPLC and ensures exact mass measurement for fast chromatography applications Fast Polarity Switching - A full cycle of 1 positive and 1 negative scan is performed within 1 second at a resolution setting of 35,000 without sacrificing mass accuracy All-Ion-Fragmentation (AIF) - With multiple dissociation techniques; in source collisional induced dissociation (CID) and high energy collisional dissociation (HCD), provides MS and MS/MS data Full MS scan, AIF scan, data dependent AIF, alternating Full MS and AIF scan Intuitive software interface The Exactive Plus Orbitrap LC-MS is ideal for the following applications: Environmental and Food Safety Clinical Research Forensic Toxicology Drug discovery, metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) Metabolomics Pharmaceutical BioPharma – Intact Protein analysis Laboratories analyzing food, pharmaceuticals, neutraceuticals, and other complex samples can now purchase Exactive Plus LC-MS system equipped from the factory with IonSense ID-CUBE™ ion sources. This configuration is designed to minimize the need for sample preparation to simplify and speed analyses.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Contamination with a variety of pathogens can be prevented with adequate temperature control, hygiene and labeling. Food samples can be tested using GC/MS, HPLC, SPE, and qPCR to ensure their adherence to regulations.ChromatographyChromatography is a powerful technique used to separate and analyze components of mixtures based on their chemical properties. It is widely used in fields like biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis. By exploiting differences in the interaction of substances with a stationary phase and a mobile phase, chromatography enables precise purification and quantification of compounds. Whether you're working with complex biological samples or industrial chemicals, chromatography is essential for obtaining high-quality results. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best chromatography systems, compare products, read customer reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Food TestingFood testing refers to a variety experiments including PCR, mass spectrometry, processing, QuEChERS, analyzing and Kjeldahl.Food QualityFood quality refers to the attributes of food that influence its safety, nutrition, and taste. Monitoring and ensuring food quality are essential in production to meet health regulations and consumer expectations. Techniques like spectroscopy, chromatography, and microbial testing are used to assess food properties and detect contaminants.
