Thermo Fisher Scientific Debuts Next Generation Ion Trap and Orbitrap Mass Spectrometers: The LTQ Velos and the LTQ Orbitrap Velos
Apr 20 2010
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc today announced that the Thermo Scientific LTQ Velos and LTQ Orbitrap Velos will make their debut at PITTCON 2010.
The LTQ Velos™ features a new dual-pressure trap and advanced ion optics, making it the world’s fastest and most sensitive ion trap mass spectrometer. The unique dual-pressure trap technology features two discrete pressure regions that allow the decoupling of ion manipulation and detection. This enables the use of optimal pressures during analysis, increasing both scan speed and resolution.
The LTQ Orbitrap Velos™ combines the industry leading Orbitrap™ mass analyser, a new Higher-Energy Collisional Dissociation (HCD) cell and dual-pressure trap technology to routinely deliver ultra-high resolution and accurate-mass data. The speed of the LTQ Velos-based mass spectrometers is ideal for coupling to U-HPLC systems, enabling researchers to identify more compounds in less time.
“The new dual-pressure trap and advanced ion optics combine to deliver increased sensitivity, improved ion transmission, and more efficient trapping and fragmentation of ions,” said Iain Mylchreest, Vice President of Mass Spectrometry for Thermo Fisher Scientific. “These major enhancements result in the fastest and most sensitive ion trap and Orbitrap mass spectrometers for any application involving complex mixtures.”
