Routine quantitative LC-MS/MS: scanning 14,000 AU/s and changing polarity in 25 ms

desktop system in Qube, Elite and Elite ER versions with VIP-HESI and APCI sources

A family of desktop triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS systems for routine, highly sensitive quantitative analysis.

The EVOQ LC-TQ in Qube, Elite and Elite ER configurations performs targeted multicomponent analysis after liquid chromatography. The platform is designed to work with complex matrices, automated construction of MRM methods, series control and reduction of manual review of results.

The family uses a lensless triple quadrupole path, Active Exhaust interface and VIP-HESI or APCI sources. The official materials for the platform state scanning speeds of up to 14,000 AU/s and switching positive/negative polarity in 25 ms; the Elite ER version extends the mass range to m/z 2000.

EVOQ LC-TQ family

Sensitivity and speed

Heated vacuum-insulated probe electric spray (VIP-HESI) ionizes lossless thermolabile compounds
Double IQ-DF Funnel with Flat-Tunes Increases Ion Transmission
The lensless mass filter of the triple quadrupole simplifies the construction of MRM methods

Reliability in routine

Active Exhaust source with stable vacuum interface based on aperture reduces pollution
It is designed to quantify thousands of real samples with minimal time before the report.
Works in conjunction with UHPLC Advance and CTC Auto Sampler
