LC-MS

Model
(Manufacturer)
Q Exactive (ThermoFisher SCIENTIFIC) (Thermo Fisher Scientific)
Features and Specifications, etc. Quadrupole/Orbitrap Hybrid Mass Spectrometer

This equipment is used for proteome analysis, which involves fragmenting proteins and measuring their mass, then comparing this data to the predicted protein amino acid sequences from genomic information to comprehensively analyze the proteins in the sample.
This device is capable of identifying trace amounts of proteins and detecting post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation.
(Usage examples) Comprehensive analysis of total proteins extracted from cells and tissues, identification of band proteins from SDS-PAGE, comprehensive analysis of co-precipitates from immunoprecipitation, identification of protein phosphorylation, etc.

Excellent quantification capabilities.
- Advanced Quadrupole Technology (AQT) improves the selectivity and transmission of precursor ions, enhancing the accuracy and sensitivity of quantifying trace samples in complex matrices.
- Sophisticated Data Independent Analysis (DIA) and Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) achieve reliable and reproducible quantification while capturing qualitative information.

Analysis results with high accuracy and reliability.
- HR/AM full scan ensures that all sample data is always captured, allowing for retrospective data analysis without the need for reanalysis.
- The capability of up to 140,000 FWHM in maximum resolution allows for mass separation even among closely related molecular weights, improving analytical accuracy in sample analyses involving complex matrices.
- Full scan mode and All Ion Fragmentation (AIF) mode provide sub-ppm mass accuracy, enabling reliable identification of compounds.
- 12Hz high-speed scanning and spectrum multiplexing enable compatibility with high-resolution chromatograms in UHPLC.
- During analysis, rapid polarity switching is feasible, maximizing the information obtained in a single analysis.
- A variety of fragmentation techniques such as AIF, in-source CID, and HCD support compound identification across a wide range of applications.
- Expanding to m/z 6,000 enhances detection capabilities from small molecules to biomacromolecules, improving detection across a wide range of compounds.
- With a spectral dynamic range exceeding four digits and femtogram-level sensitivity, simultaneous detection of trace and high-concentration compounds is achievable in a single scan.

High Performance Liquid Chromatograph Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
(LC-MS/MS)

Model
(Manufacturer)
LCMS-8060 (SHMADZU)
Features and Specifications, etc. This device analyzes trace components such as drugs and metabolites in the blood with high sensitivity.
It is a dedicated instrument for contract analysis, including quantification of primary metabolites, phospholipids, and target compounds.
The triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS/MS) is a configuration where two quadrupole mass analyzers (Q) are connected in series with a collision cell (q) in between, forming a Q-q-Q setup.
Connecting a liquid chromatograph as a pre-processing device forms LC-MS/MS, where the chromatograph serves as the detector. This setup provides high selectivity through mass separation, enabling highly sensitive quantitative analysis.
Triple quadrupole mass spectrometers are primarily utilized for quantitative analysis.
