Product description

High-resolution Q/TOF mass spectrometer with up to 10,000 FWHM, 5 ppm accuracy, m/z 20,000 range, ESI/APCI sources.

The Micromass Q/TOF is a hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer designed for high-resolution, accurate mass measurements in complex sample analyses. Combining a quadrupole mass filter with an orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight (oa-TOF) analyser, this instrument delivers precise mass determination and structural elucidation of biomolecules. Introduced in the late 1990s, the Q/TOF series has been instrumental in advancing mass spectrometry applications across various scientific domains.

Key features:

  • High resolution: Achieves up to 10,000 full width at half maximum (FWHM), enabling differentiation of nominally isobaric ions.
  • Exact mass measurement: Provides mass accuracy within 5 parts per million (ppm) root mean square (RMS) in both MS and MS/MS modes.
  • Wide mass range: Supports transmission up to m/z 20,000 for MS analysis, accommodating large biomolecules.
  • Efficient collision cell: Features a hexapole collision cell with collision energy up to ±205 eV for effective fragmentation in structural investigations.
  • Versatile ionisation techniques: Equipped with electrospray ionisation (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI) sources for diverse sample types.

Applications:

  • Proteomics: Facilitates peptide sequencing and protein identification through precise mass measurements.
  • Metabolomics: Enables comprehensive profiling of metabolites in biological samples.
  • Pharmaceutical analysis: Supports drug discovery and development by characterising compounds and their metabolites.
  • Biotechnology: Essential for molecular cloning workflows and widely adopted in synthetic biology research.

Commonly used in:

  • University laboratories: Supports academic research in life sciences and chemistry departments.
  • Biomedical research centres: Aids in disease research and biomarker discovery.
  • Pharmaceutical companies: Integral to quality control and drug development processes.
  • Biotechnology firms: Critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular diagnostics.

While the Micromass Q/TOF series has been succeeded by newer models, it remains a foundational instrument in mass spectrometry, reflecting Micromass's legacy of innovation in analytical instrumentation.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
