Thermo Q Exactive Plus Benchtop Quadrupole-Orbitrap LC-MS/MS System

The Thermo Q Exactive Plus is a benchtop LC-MS/MS system that integrates advanced quadrupole technology with Orbitrap mass spectrometry for high-resolution and accurate-mass quantitation. It delivers resolving power up to 280,000 (FWHM) at m/z 200, enabling detailed analysis of small and large molecules critical in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology workflows. Key features include:

The instrument covers a mass range from 50 to 6,000 m/z and performs rapid polarity switching with one full cycle in under one second, allowing seamless analysis of multiple analytes in both positive and negative ion modes. It supports up to 10 precursor ions per scan, facilitating multiplexed assays commonly demanded in clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing pipelines.

Weighing approximately 204 kg, this pre-owned mass spectrometer powers on and completes initial startup; full functional testing was not conducted due to software unavailability during evaluation. It requires a high-purity nitrogen gas supply and operates on dual 230 VAC inputs. This system is widely used in live-cell imaging metabolomics, fluorescence analysis, and biomedical engineering research owing to its precision and robustness.

This Thermo Q Exactive Plus mass spectrometer is a vital tool for researchers conducting high-resolution mass spectrometry, offering scalable performance for comprehensive analysis in synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics essential for biopharmaceutical production and bioprocessing research.
