Designed for drug discovery, forensics, proteomics and a variety of industrial applications, the LXQ offers fast cycle time with the increased sensitivity of a linear ion trap.
The predecessor to the Thermo LTQ XL, the Thermo LXQ is an advanced linear ion trap mass spectrometer that comprises a syringe pump, a divert/inject valve, an MS detector, and the Xcalibur® data system. The LXQ MS detector consists of an atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source, ion optics, mass analyzer, and ion detection system.
You can operate the LXQ using any of four ionization techniques: Electrospray Ionization (ESI); Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI); Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization (APPI); Nanospray Ionization (NSI). Because these four techniques use the same ion source interface (that is, the portion of the API source that is under vacuum), you can switch between these in just a few minutes. Switching ionization techniques merely involves switching the probes and does not break vacuum.
