Product description

High-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometer with quadrupole precursor selection, 140,000 resolving power, and up to 12 Hz scan speed.

Q-Exactive MS is a high-performance benchtop mass spectrometer that integrates quadrupole precursor selection with high-resolution, accurate-mass (HR/AM) Orbitrap detection. This system delivers exceptional data quality, making it ideal for both qualitative and quantitative analyses across various scientific disciplines.

Key features include:

  • High resolving power: Up to 140,000 at m/z 200, ensuring precise mass measurements.
  • Superior mass accuracy: Achieves better than 1 ppm in full-scan and all-ion fragmentation modes, enhancing confidence in compound identification.
  • Rapid scan speeds: Capable of up to 12 Hz, facilitating compatibility with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and fast chromatography techniques.
  • Versatile fragmentation techniques: Utilises higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) for superior MS/MS spectra, improving identifications.
  • Extended mass range: Up to 6,000 m/z, accommodating a broad spectrum of analytes, from small molecules to large biomolecules.

This instrument is widely applied in:

  • Proteomics: Facilitates bottom-up protein identification, post-translational modification analysis, and quantitative proteomics.
  • Metabolomics: Enables comprehensive profiling and quantification of metabolites in complex biological samples.
  • Biotechnology: Supports bioprocessing, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology research by providing detailed molecular insights.
  • Pharmaceutical research: Assists in drug discovery, metabolite identification, and impurity analysis.
  • Environmental and food safety: Ensures accurate detection and quantification of contaminants and residues.

Commonly utilised in:

  • University laboratories: For advanced research in life sciences and biotechnology.
  • Biomedical research centres: Supporting studies in proteomics, metabolomics, and molecular biology.
  • Clinical research facilities: Aiding in the development of diagnostic assays and therapeutic monitoring.
  • Pharmaceutical companies: Enhancing drug development pipelines through precise analytical capabilities.

Introduced in 2012, the Q-Exactive MS remains a cornerstone in analytical laboratories, renowned for its reliability and versatility in high-resolution mass spectrometry applications.

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.
