QSight 500 LC/MS/MS System

Description

The QSight 500 is a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) system configured with a triple quadrupole mass analyzer. It is designed for the analysis of complex and challenging sample matrices, with a focus on system robustness and reduced maintenance. The instrument supports Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) techniques. A central feature is the StayClean source technology, which is intended to minimize internal contamination and maintain sensitivity, thereby potentially reducing downtime and simplifying sample preparation. System operation and data handling are managed by the Modular Simplicity 3Q software, which provides tools for method development, acquisition, quantification, and reporting, including remote diagnostic capabilities. The system utilizes a patented flow-based technology in its ion path design.
