Linear ion trap mass spectrometer provides superior speed and sensitivity over 3D ion traps to create an attractive option for high-throughput drug discovery and proteomics
Thermo Electron introduces the Finnigan LXQ, describing it as a cost-effective linear ion trap mass spectrometer that delivers high performance for rapid, reliable analysis supporting high-throughput solutions for today's fast paced analytical laboratory.
The company says that LXQ provides superior speed and sensitivity over 3D ion traps, combined with the ruggedness that Finnigan ion traps have delivered for years.
"The Finnigan LXQ not only expands our family of award-winning ion trap mass spectrometers, it brings 2D performance to laboratories that had previously found this level of technology to be beyond their budget," said Iain Mylchreest, VP of mass spectrometry for Thermo.
"Now, laboratories will find the Finnigan LXQ to be an attractive option for high-throughput drug discovery and proteomics".
Advanced features of the Finnigan LXQ include patented ion trap technology that delivers fast cycle times and improved ion statistics, resulting in increased sensitivity and high quality MSn spectra for confident structural identification.
