Q Exactive™ UHMR Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap™ Mass Spectrometer

Description

The Q Exactive UHMR Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer from Thermo Fisher Scientific is designed for advanced native mass spectrometry applications. Its core feature is an ultra-high mass range (UHMR) Orbitrap analyzer, which enables the analysis of large biomolecules and complexes with high mass accuracy. The instrument operates across a mass range from 350 to 80,000 m/z and can achieve a resolution of up to 200,000 at m/z 400. It offers scanning speeds of up to 12 Hz at a resolution setting of 12,500 at m/z 400. This system integrates a quadrupole mass filter for precursor ion selection, supporting MS2 fragmentation experiments and pseudo-MS3 capabilities. These technical attributes are intended to facilitate the detailed characterization of intact proteins, protein assemblies, and other high-mass analytes with a high degree of sensitivity and mass resolution.
