ThermoQuest Finnigan AQA LC/MS

Finnigan AQA single quadrupole mass spectrometric detector for coupling with Dionex HPLC and high performance IC systems, for the first ever IC/MS capabilities. The Finnigan AQA, with switch-able dual atmospheric pressure ionization sources, is controlled for LC/MS applications using Dionex’s Chromeleon MS Chromatography management software for the best in both chromatographic and MS software. Electrospray ionisation and atmospheric chemical ionisation are available for LC and IC applications.

The Finnigan AQA source inlet is self-cleaning for superior reliability and extended routine operation compared to other MS detectors.

The system includes a benchtop quadrupole mass spectrometer with a mass range of up to 1600 m/z with unit mass resolution.

Finnigan AQA system for high-throughput LC/MS analysis of combinatorial libraries, using an Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (API) source, providing multi-user Open Access software for around-the-clock usage.

• The only self-cleaning LC/MS that operates non-stop for weeks with involatile buffers
• Routinely delivers precise, accurate quantitation at trace levels
• True non-stop performance with multi-user Open Access
• A powerful new tool for Drug Discovery™ delivering fully automated high throughput screening confirmation
• All Powered by Xcalibur
• LC Compatibility

Finnigan AQA™ is compatible with existing LC methods,especially those including salts, ion-pairing agents and dirty matrices, easily handling flow rates up to 2mL/min in ESI & APCI without splitting.

Finnigan AQA is simplicity itself incorporating AQAmax, tool-free switching between ionization modes and fixed gas flow rates – the lowest in LC/MS. AQAmax delivers dial-up sensitivity, even with day to day, instrument to instrument changes, the AQAmax values remain the same.
