Thermo Scientific Exactive Plus Orbitrap LC-MS by Thermo Fisher Scientific

"It is a very friendly and easy to use device. It is very cost effective and highly precise instrument for your lab."

"This instrument works as advertised and is reliable for accurate mass measurement. The Orbitrap technology works far better for us than does Q-Tof. These instruments are also very reliable and hold a mass calibration well as they are not so sensitive to temperature variations in the laboratory. The software makes creating complex instrument methods possible, yet intuitive. This gives us the flexibility to create methods for our specialized needs without a lot of time involved learning difficult software."

"Orbitrap is the new emerging technology in mass spectrometry and produces great proteomics data that is helpful in emerging new research fields."

"The instrument is very effective. Researchers who want to explore global unbiased proteomics analysis instead of targeted approach will love the flexibility and user-friendliness of this product. LC-MS/MS measurements are not trivial and require specialized expertise. However Exactive instruments are the best that a user can hope for in proteomics research. Its wide range of applications is second to none."

"High quality and reproducible results for proteomics application. Easy to use even with different users on the same instrument."

"The instrument is fairly easy to get to know and work with! It gives good specificity and we have been able to use it for untargeted metabolomic approaches! However, the sensitivity is not as good as promised and because it is linked to an LC from a different company, there are some bugs in the system once in a while!"

"very sensitive and accurate easy to be use great software and tech services supports excellent instrument operative training and services"

"This mass analyzer is easy to use and does not need heavy optimization of source or mass spectrometric features. Provides more structural information and also provides post analysis information. The mass accuracy is excellent and the reproducibility is also good."

"Good for large-scale analysis of proteomics and very fast scan speed. It is also good for glycoproteomics and for glycan structure but only HCD is allowed."

"The system is easy to use in various analytical applications, but the mass spec software needs more time to be familiar with. The MS has perfect resolution. The service engineers were really helpful and skilled. However, the price is really high."
