Thermo ISQ EC Single-Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer for LC/IC with 10–1250 m/z Range

The Thermo ISQ EC is a single-quadrupole mass spectrometer designed for seamless integration with liquid chromatography (LC) and ion chromatography (IC) systems, enabling routine mass detection of small molecules critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. It operates within a mass range of 10 to 1,250 m/z and offers superior sensitivity, detecting down to 10 pg Reserpine at 400 µL/min using Heated Electrospray Ionization (HESI) in positive mode.

Key technical features include:

• Mass range: 10–1,250 m/z, suitable for a broad spectrum of analytes encountered in biotechnology and synthetic biology research
• High scan rate: up to 20,000 Da/sec for rapid data acquisition, supporting high-throughput molecular analysis and biomanufacturing quality control
• Robust sensitivity: critical in molecular diagnostics and gene editing applications that require precise quantitation at trace levels
• Compact size and weight: approximately 52 cm (H) × 42 cm (W) × 91 cm (D) and 70.8 kg, fitting standard laboratory benchtops equipped for analytical mass spectrometry
• Designed primarily for routine mass detection workflows, widely used across clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical development, and biochemical research

This system is optimized for laboratories specializing in small molecule analysis, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and live-cell metabolite monitoring. Note that this unit is sold without computer or software, typically requiring compatible control and data acquisition systems for full functionality.

The Thermo ISQ EC mass spectrometer is an essential tool for analytical chemistry, providing reliable performance in biotechnology environments where dependable mass spectrometric data is critical for bioprocess optimization and molecular biology research.
