Thermo Fisher Scientific has extended its LC-MS ion-trap and triple-stage quadrupole trade-in programmes to include the trade-in of instruments from any vendor.
Scientists are invited to participate in the Traps and Triples Trade-In Programme by trading in ion-trap or triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers - from any vendor - and upgrading to Thermo Scientific linear ion-trap or triple-stage quadrupole technology.
Available until September 2010, new and existing customers are eligible to trade in any model of ion-trap or triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer for a discounted price on a new Thermo Scientific linear ion-trap or triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer.
The company is offering its complete line of ion-trap and triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers through the promotional period.
Both lines offer models suitable for a range of uses, from routine analyses to research applications.
The Thermo Scientific LTQ series mass spectrometers provide enhanced performance for complex sample analyses.
The Thermo Scientific LTQ XL is equipped with tools to generate extensive structural information while providing high sensitivity and flexibility.
The Thermo Scientific LCQ Fleet provides rich information for routine analysis of complex samples with high throughput and provides good full-scan sensitivity, ruggedness and reliability.
TSQ series mass spectrometers are said to be among the most advanced triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers available.
The Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum Ultra is ideal for quantitative applications and provides productivity and faster method development at high specificity.
The Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum Access Max is suitable for a variety of applications.
Scientists can also trade in their old ion-trap or triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers for a Thermo Scientific LTQ Velos or Thermo Scientific TSQ Vantage.
Both of these instruments utilise advanced S-Lens ion optics, which improve instrument sensitivity and data acquisition rates by collecting and focusing more of the ions as they travel from the ion source to the mass analyser.
The extension of the trade-in program provides customers with access to the latest technological advancements in mass spectrometry, including greater sensitivity and enhanced robustness that lead to improved results and increased productivity.
Long-term success is ensured with continued instrument support throughout the life of the instrument.
