Good results, there is definitely room for improvement
Application Area: Detect an quantify drugs and metabolites in cell culture samples
"In my view, the instrument is not very difficult to use, provided that you are trained properly to work with it. Moreover, you need a strong foundation in analytical chemistry to be able to design, conduct, and analyze experiments and results. There is one important one needs to take into consideration and that is the detection limit of this instrument is not the best when it comes to LCMS, as I continue to struggle with detecting pg levels of metabolites. Unfortunately, the software which comes with the instrument are not very good in my opinion, as they are very tedious to work with, not user friendly, and pose difficulties for data export and visualization. In this age of data driven science and big data riven research the software should be much much better."

Very good and robust system for residue analysis in a food lab.
Application Area:Residue analysis in food matrices
"The Sciex QTRAP 4500 is a robust system that helps us in our analysis of drug and pesticide residues and mycotoxins in food. As a food lab, residue analysis has been an important part of our analysis workflow and the Sciex system has not let us down. It is very sensitive and the results are very good, with efficient recovery results."

Very robust and highly sensitive instrument.
Application Area:Analyze plant metabolites
"The instrument has proven to be very useful and effective concerning our applications, which are analyses of different plant metabolites. LC-MS/MS results led to several important scientific publications and knowledge increases. After the purchase of the instrument it turned out that required consumables or spare parts are rather expensive and that it is difficult to get a discount for Universities, which would be appreciated."

Review date: 29 Jan 2016 | QTRAP 4500 system
The QTRAP 4500 system takes the legendary 4000 QTRAP platform and intelligently re-engineers it to set a new benchmark for reliable quantitation and library searching – with 100-fold more full-scan sensitivity over basic triple quadrupoles in the same class. The LC-MS/MS workhorse is intelligently re-engineered. As one of the only triple quadrupole instruments with optional Linear Accelerator Trap technology, the QTRAP 4500 system enables powerful, unique workflows that deliver a new level of confidence in your data. High-confidence library searching and fast eQ electronics for UHPLC: The 4500 series uses proven eQ electronics delivering polarity switching speeds of 50 msec and scan speeds of 20,000 Da/sec, creating a potent solution for detecting unexpected contaminants. Combined with a single comprehensive library of thousands of QTRAP spectra for library matching, contaminants at the lowest levels can be confidently identified on a UHPLC time scale. Features: Simultaneously quantitate MRMs and perform full scan library searches for non-targeted contaminants. Achieve a 100X increase in full-scan sensitivity over triple quads providing an enhanced level of confidence for forensic toxicology applications. Boost selectivity with quantitative MRM3 workflows – and reduce the need for extensive sample cleanup or labor-intensive chromatography methods. Obtain comprehensive peptide sequence confirmation and simplify MRM assay development for peptide quantitation.
