The ThermoFisher Exploris 480 is a Thermo Scientific™ quadrupole-Orbitrap™ mass spectrometer, based on the hardware and instrument control software designs of the next-generation Thermo Scientific™ mass spectrometers and incorporates extensive customer and service engineer feedback.
Built on the guiding principle of ease-of-use and reliable hardware, robust system performance boosts sample throughput. Soundness of data is assured with high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) selectivity, high scan speed and bestin-class mass spectral quality, all within a compact footprint to conserve bench space.
Simplified operation, smart scheduling and execution of user selected scan types deliver rich, high-confidence sample insights for users of all skill levels in a wide range of applications from small molecules to peptides and intact proteins.
Features:
- Ultimate sensitivity with an efficient, heated electrospray ionization (H-ESI) sprayer to deliver maximum performance with minimal optimization
- Flow rates from 1–1,000 µL/min:
– low flow needle 1–10 µL/min
– high flow needle 10–1,000 µL/min - Enhanced ruggedness and reduced chemical noise with sweep gas
The instrument is currently located in our office in Almere, tested and running under vacuum. It comes with a ThermoFisher Ultimate 3000 nanoRSLC.
