ISQ EC Single Qadrupole Mass Spectrometer

ISQ EC mass spectrometer is a sensitive analytical instrument that answers the questions “what is there” and “how much is present” for an incredibly wide range of analytical samples, which involves the production and subsequent separation and identification of charged species. Mass spectrometer is an instrument designed to separate gas phase ions according to their m/z (mass to charge ratio) value.

A single quadrupole mass spectrometer contains one quadrupole mass analyzer. The quadrupole mass analyzer acts as a mass filter, allowing users to select either a specific m/z ratio they are interested in detecting, or a range of m/z ratios at the same time.

Despite the benefits of incorporating mass spectrometry into your analyses, we know MS can seem complex. That is why we designed the Thermo Scientific™ ISQ™ EC single quadrupole mass spectrometer with robustness and ease-of-use in mind. The Thermo Scientific ISQ EC Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer enables novices and experts alike to run routine MS and improve analytical confidence by detecting small molecules with high sensitivity in both simple and complex matrices.

The Thermo Scientific™ ISQ™ EC single quadrupole mass spectrometer seamlessly integrates with your ion chromatography (IC) or liquid chromatography (LC) systems. It is robust and easy to use, offering all chromatographers the opportunity to expand their expertise in running routine assays. Its advanced dual-role design provides exceptional low-molecular weight performance for quantitation of ions using IC-MS in addition to reliable, everyday operation for routine LC-MS.
