What is the difference between Qtrap and triple quad?

QTRAP technology delivers equivalent or better data, and more of it, than you can capture on an ordinary triple quadrulpole system. You can combine all the MRM sensitivity of a triple quad, with a multi-functional linear ion trap (LIT), for unique and powerful workflows.

What is Qtrap?

The quadropule ion trap (Q-Trap) is a particular type of triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Please refer to LC-MS-MS for a discussion on the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

How does a Qtrap work?

The system combines the selective scans of the triple quadrupole with the high speed, high sensitivity of the ion trap allowing metabolites to be found and characterized in a single scan. Additionally, the system has MS(3) and time delayed fragmentation scans that aid in structure elucidation.

What is the difference between single quad and triple quad?

Quadrupoles are therefore called mass filters. Single quadrupole systems contain only one mass filtering quadrupole while triple quadrupole systems consist of three quadrupoles.

What is Triple TOF?

The TripleTOF 5600+ system is a hybrid mass spectrometer that combines high performance quadrupole (Qq) mass spectrometry with high resolution Time-of-Flight (TOF) data acquisition and therefore provides a comprehensive platform for discovery and targeted proteomics.

What is Qtrap mass spec?

The Q Trap mass spectrometer is a unique tandem mass spectrometer which is capable of functioning as either a dedidated triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative workflows or as a highly sensitive linear ion trap mass spectrometer for qualitative workflows, since the hybrid mass spectrometer has MS3 …

What is LC MS MS analysis?

Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) is a powerful analytical technique that combines the separating power of liquid chromatography with the highly sensitive and selective mass analysis capability of triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.

What is triple quad LC MS?

A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (TQMS), is a tandem mass spectrometer consisting of two quadrupole mass analyzers in series, with a (non-mass-resolving) radio frequency (RF)–only quadrupole between them to act as a cell for collision-induced dissociation.

What is single quad triple quad?

Single quadrupole systems contain only one mass filtering quadrupole while triple quadrupole systems consist of three quadrupoles. Q1 and Q3 are working as mass filters while Q2 is acting as collision cell. Quadrupoles can be used in scanning or filtering mode.
