Product description

High-resolution Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap XL with ETD for complex protein and small molecule analysis.

The Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap XL & LTQ XL with ETD is a high-resolution, high-sensitivity hybrid mass spectrometer integrating the linear ion trap (LTQ) with Orbitrap technology and Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD) ionization capabilities. This system enables detailed analysis of complex proteins and small molecules, making it essential for advanced biochemical research and molecular diagnostics workflows in biotechnology, proteomics, and synthetic biology.

  • Mass Analyzer: LTQ Orbitrap XL for precise mass measurement with high resolving power
  • Ionization method: ETD for preserving labile post-translational modifications in protein analysis
  • Voltage: Operates at 230 V with 50Hz/60Hz frequency compatibility
  • Weight: Approximately 490 kg (1080 lbs)
  • Dimensions: 213.36 cm x 112.78 cm x 170.69 cm (LxWxH)

This preowned unit, manufactured in Germany, powers on but requires calibration and validation due to incomplete testing and absence of control software. Minor cosmetic defects and mechanical issues were noted, including unexpected power shutdown during pump initialization. It does not include computer or power/data cables.

Widely used in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular diagnostics laboratories, this mass spectrometer supports detailed protein characterization, including post-translational modification mapping, critical in bioprocessing and gene editing research. Its combined Orbitrap and LTQ ETD functionalities optimize workflows for live-cell imaging correlates, fluorescence analysis, and advanced cellular proteomics.

This system is highly applicable for researchers requiring accurate mass measurements and fragmentation techniques essential for molecular cloning workflows, synthetic biology research, and clinical diagnostics. Proper installation, calibration, and software integration are necessary to ensure optimal performance and analytical accuracy in demanding biotechnology and clinical research environments.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
