Bruker Apex-Qe

A Hybrid Qh-FTICR-MS with an extended high performance actively shielded 12 Tesla magnet

 

Capabilities:

• Exact mass to sub ppm levels
• High resolution capability for direct analysis of complex mixtures (600,000 FWHM)
• Simultaneous detection of ions in a wide m/z range
• LC/MS/MS with data dependent acquisition
• Exact mass for MS(n)
• Qh front end provides sensitive, selective ion enrichment and with Bruker Biotools software provides top down de Novo protein sequencing and discovery of Post Translational Modifications.
• CID, ECD, and IRMPD (Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation) capabilities offer three different fragmentation options for obtaining structural information

Ion Sources:

• Apollo-II Ion Funnel with electrospray and nanospray provides both positive ion and negative ion capabilities for polar compounds
• APPI (Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization) source provides ionization capabilities for non polar compounds
