Laser Diode Thermal Desorption (LDTD) Technology ›

Laser Diode Thermal Desorption (LDTD) technology, consisting of a semi-conductor based laser diode, allows scientists to rapidly analyze compounds. The LDTD technology increases the speed of analysis of compounds by 20 to 100 times compared to established techniques based on liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry.

H-SRM Technology ›

Achieve Ultra-low Levels of Quantitative Analysis with H-SRM

H-SRM is an acronym for Highly Selective Reaction Monitoring, which is a more advanced form of Selective Reaction Monitoring (SRM). SRM is a long-standing quantitative technique employed primarily by triple quadrupole mass spectrometers. During the SRM experiment there are three distinct events which occur within the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

First, ions of a specific mass (precursor mass) are transmitted through the first quadrupole, while ions of different masses are filtered out. Second, the selected ions collide with a neutral gas present in the second quadrupole (collision cell) where they undergo collisional induced decomposition ("CID reaction"). Third, product ions of specific mass are then transmitted through the third quadrupole, after which they are detected. In this way a specific signature can be set up for target analytes in a complex sample.

QED-MS/MS Technology ›

Introduction to the QED Scan Function for Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry By Jonathan Beck, Ph.D.

This webinar discusses the features and benefits of using the Quantitation-Enhanced Data Dependent Scan function (QED) in triple quadrupole experiments. QED enables the collection of both qualitative full scan Q3 data and quantitative SRM data in the same experiment. The webinar then elucidates how QED can be applied to any workflow, from proteomics to drug metabolites to environmental contaminants.

This is an on-demand webinar that can be viewed at any time. Instructions will be emailed as soon as the registration form is completed. The duration of this webinar is about 19 mins.
