The Future Path of LC-MS/MS Quantitation The SCIEX 4500 Series brings together the latest hardware from the world s best selling triple quadrupole family, and adds next-generation, ultra-fast and sensitive Linear Accelerator Trap functionality. Delivering unmatched quantitative and qualitative analysis, the 4500 Series enables productive, time-saving workflows unachievable with other mass spectrometry systems. AcQuRate Pulse Counting Detector The AcQuRate pulse counting detector combined with a pulse overlap correction algorithm, enable more accurate and precise ion detection over a wide dynamic range. Continuous operation at maximum gain drives the detector into the digital domain, simplifying the elimination of electronic noise and guaranteeing maximum sensitivity with unparalleled accuracy and precision. Patented QJet Ion Guide Optimized design yields better ion containment and operates at high pressure. This provides better collisional focusing to enhance ion transmission for improved sensitivity. The new design also lets the turbopump run cooler and in its ideal operating range. Proven Q0 High-Pressure Cell The high pressure collisional focusing technology maximizes transmission of ions for superior sensitivity. Ions can be accumulated in the Q0 region while the Linear Accelerator trap is performing MS/MS and MS 3 scans. This yields superior sensitivity in ion trap mode, which can be extremely important for fast UHPLC applications where time and duty cycle are condensed.
Integrated QTRAP technology LINAC technology to the Q3 linear ion trap greatly improves extraction efficiency to yield up to a 100X gain in sensitivity under ion trap scan modes. Take full advantage of the 20,000 Da/s scan speeds with full scan linear ion trap sensitivity 100X more sensitive than triple quad full scan experiments for greater confidence in qualitative workflows. Improved excitation efficiencies and reduced ion cooling and fragmentation times produce superior MS 3 qualitative results and provide unprecedented selectivity for the most challenging analytical assays. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Patented Qurved LINAC Collision Cell The Qurved LINAC high-pressure collision cell accelerates ions through the cell to increase speed of analysis and eliminate cross-talk. Improvements to the acclaimed LINAC collision cell result in shorter transit times across the cell, making the Qurved LINAC cell an ideal match for UHPLC and high throughput analysis focused on hundreds of compounds. True collision-induced fragmentation with the Qurved LINAC collision cell generates reliable, information-rich, library-searchable MS/MS spectra time after time. Fast eq Electronics for Fast LC Next-generation eq electronics produce polarity switching in 50 ms and scan speeds of 20,000 Da/s. Now, compounds with vastly different functional groups can be measured in a single pass. The new electronics also improve ion containment for better sensitivity and superior detector performance. Ultra-fast and ultra-stable instrumentation means you get the most out of your standard or fast LC to save time and accelerate your research. RUO-MKT-03-0137-C
