X500B QTOF System
Manufacturer: SCIEX
Description
The SCIEX X500B QTOF System is a benchtop quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer designed for analytical workflows in biopharmaceutical characterization. Its mass analyzer combines a quadrupole for precursor ion selection with a time-of-flight tube for accurate mass measurement. The system has a mass range extending up to 40 kilodaltons and achieves a resolution of 42,000 FWHM or greater, as demonstrated on standard compounds like bovine insulin. It is capable of rapid data acquisition with MS/MS scanning speeds up to 100 spectra per second. This instrument is engineered to support intact protein analysis, subunit characterization, and peptide mapping studies, providing high-quality data for researchers in proteomics and biotherapeutic development.
