The Thermo Scientific Exactive Benchtop LC-MS Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer

Instrument Type: LCMS

The combination of Orbitrap technology with a linear ion trap has become an established platform for high resolution, accurate mass LC-MSn analysis. The high resolving power, mass accuracy and dynamic range of the Orbitrap analyzer allow rigorous characterization of complex mixtures even in the absence of precursor ion mass selection. We now describe the development of a non-hybrid mass spectrometer comprising of an atmospheric-pressure ion source (API) and a standalone Orbitrap mass analyzer.

Non-targeted Screening and Accurate Mass Confirmation of 510 Pesticides on the High Resolution Exactive Benchtop LC/MS Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer

Instrument Type: LCMS

As agricultural trade grows and food safety concerns mount, stricter pesticide regulations are being enforced around the world. Increased pesticide testing and reductions in maximum permissible residue levels have driven demand for fast, sensitive and cost-effective analytical methods for high-throughput screening of multi-class pesticides in food. Detection of 510 pesticides at low ppb levels was achieved within 12 minutes using the Thermo Scientific Exactive benchtop LC/MS system powered by Orbitrap technology.
