Instrument Details
The Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Elite Hybrid Mass Spectrometer (when coupled in a 2-D LC – high-resolution MS workflow) is a high-end analytical instrument used for deep characterization of complex mixtures. Below is a breakdown of what the system is, how it works, what its capabilities are, and where it is commonly used.
Capabilities
It offers advanced MS/MS functionality and supports multiple atmospheric pressure ionization modes—electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), and atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI). With quantitation and spectral consistency down to the femtogram level, it enables precise identification and quantification of a wide range of compounds in environmental chemistry, biochemistry, metabolomics, biomarker, and organic pollutant studies.
