The product is great in terms of HRMS
Rating: 3.7

  • Application Area:Metabolomics

"The product is great in terms of HRMS, robustness and ease to use. But the scan speed, sensitivity and data analysis resources are not perfect. HILIC are best alternative to normal phase for analyzing polar metabolites. But improvements in reproducibility and more life of column will add value to products."

As the great achievements with excellent data result, we very much favorite to this instrument.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Unknown compounds master screen

"1. This MS instrument has highest MS accuracy and very good MS resolution, and high sensitivity. 3. With high analytical reliability and reproducibility, we can achieve highest quality of MS identification data. 4. The instrument is very easy to be operated in both hardware and software. 5. The after-sale care, training (including on-site training), as well as instrument service is very satisfying, in both quickness/convenience and value of money. "

  • Application Area:Biologics analysis

"It is as stable and robust as a 3Q, as accurate and selective as an Orbi, and as fast as required by best UPLCs. An incredibly productive instrument suitable for small molecules as well as for large-scale proteomics, polysaccharides as well as intact proteins (6000 Da mass range), and for qualitative works as well as targeted or label-free quantitation. All of this at an excellent level."

Review date: 22 Aug 2014 | Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ Plus Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap™ Mass Spectrometer

The Thermo Scientific Q Exactive hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer combines high-performance quadrupole precursor selection with high-resolution, accurate-mass (HR/AM) Orbitrap™ detection.

The superior quality of Q Exactive™ MS/MS data provides ultimate confidence for a wide range of qualitative and quantitative applications. Its high scan speed and spectral multiplexing capabilities make it fully compatible with UHPLC and fast chromatography techniques, ramping productivity to a new level. The Q Exactive instrument can easily handle routine applications in proteomics from bottom-up protein ID to semiquantitative isotopic labeling analyses to targeted quantification experiments.

The Q Exactive Plus Mass Spectrometer is superbly suited to untargeted or targeted screening with high-confidence confirmation, but is equally capable of a broad range of qualitative and quantitative applications. The superior quality of Q Exactive Plus Mass Spectrometer data enables characterization and quantitation of more compounds with greater confidence.


Q Exactive™ Plus Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap™ Mass Spectrometer Features:

  • Advanced quadrupole technology (AQT) improves precursor selection and transmission for more accurate quantitation of low-abundance analytes in complex matrices
  • Sophisticated data-independent acquisition (DIA) and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) deliver reproducible quantitation with complete qualitative confidence
  • An advanced active beam guide (AABG) reduces noise and extends maintenance intervals
  • Optional intact protein mode allows greater control over collision pressure and related parameters for improved analysis of intact proteins and protein complexes
  • Optional enhanced resolution ensures maximum ID confidence in top-down proteomics and lipidomics
