Mass spectrometer SCIEX Triple Quad™ 3500

quadrupoleMS/MSlaboratory

If you’re currently running your assays using GC, GC-MS, or HPLC, a bold new world awaits you. Discover how the power of liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) can simplify and consolidate your current assays, dramatically increase your assay quality, and vastly expand the repertoire of assays you can provide – without breaking your budget. With the SCIEX Triple Quad™ 3500 LC-MS/MS system, modern hardware, powerful software, and robust engineering combine to enable lower levels of detection and quantitation than conventional GC and LC workflows, and across a wider range of analytes. You’ll get expert level performance at an entry level price. Why SCIEX LC-MS/MS? The SCIEX Triple Quad 3500 LC-MS/MS system combines the ease of liquid chromatography with its inherently broad analyte applicability, with the quantitative power of triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The power of liquid chromatography for separation (LC) Simplify sample preparation and reduce contamination Liquid chromatography is amenable to the analysis of a wide array of analytes. In fact, many compounds that are difficult to analyze by GC such as thermally labile and chemically unstable analytes, amines, and semi-volatile compounds, are ideal candidates for LC-MS/MS. GC based assays, including GC-FID and GCMS, typically require samples to be in an organic injection solvent. This often necessitates derivatization of hydrophilic analytes to improve their volatility, ionization, or peak shape.
