The Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum Access MAX triple stage quadrupole mass spectrometer is the value-conscious choice for a wide variety of applications, including pharmaceutical, environmental, food safety, clinical research, and forensics. Based on the proven performance of the TSQ Quantum platform, it sets the benchmark for sensitivity in its class, providing unmatched specificity at an affordable price.
Product Details
Continuing the tradition of innovation, the TSQ Quantum Access MAX™ features Quantitation-Enhanced Data-Dependent MS/MS (QED-MS/MS) that allows for simultaneous quantitative and qualitative analysis. The specificity provided by Highly Selective Reaction Monitoring (H-SRM) followed by QED-MS/MS provides uncompromised quantitative performance at low levels followed by a fast, highly specific full MS/MS scan for confirmation.
Key Features:
-
Mass range m/z 10-3000 – Small molecules to intact proteins
-
3000 timed SRMs (T-SRMs)
-
QED-MS/MS – Simultaneous quantitation and structural confirmation
-
H-SRM dwell time of 2 ms – Quantitate hundreds of compounds in a single run for multi-residue screening
-
Fast positive/negative switching – less than or equal to 25 ms – for multi-residue assays
-
Zero Cross-Talk Collision Cell eliminates false positives
-
-
Compatible with Thermo Scientific FAIMS technology for ultimate specificity
Multiple-component Screening: The ability to do 3000 timed SRMs as well as triggering data-dependent full scan MS/MS gives the multi-component screening experiment an added dimension of specificity. Use of H-SRM triggered product ion scans minimizes the potential for false positive results, especially when analyzing complex samples. Unmatched specificity results in added confidence of analyses.
Searchable Libraries: A built-in searchable library of compounds is provided to aid confirmation of the presence of target analytes. This feature makes the TSQ Quantum Access MAX immediately productive in environmental and food safety laboratories.
Faster LC-MS/MS Method Development: The TSQ Quantum Access MAX includes a database of methodologies for the analysis of pesticides, azo dyes and banned pharmaceuticals in water and food. Coupled to the Thermo Scientific Accela fast liquid chromatography (LC) system with Thermo Scientific Hypersil GOLD 1.9um column technology, faster LC-MS/MS methods can be developed without compromising chromatographic resolution.
Fast Polarity Switching: The fast switching power supply allows positive/negative switching at less than or equal to 25 ms, allowing the instrument to capture high quality data in positive and negative ionization modes simultaneously. This is of significant value when analyzing multiple classes of compounds in one sample that require ionization in both polarities
