Thermo Q-Exactive - The combination of LC separation, high resolution MS and MS2 analysis should provide unambiguous and precise characterization of different classes of lipids in biological samples. Q-exactive MS with its mass resolution of 140,000 at 400 m/z and mass accuracy of 1-2 ppm is optimized for lipidomics and metabolomics experiments. HCD fragmentation using stepped normalised collision energies is an excellent tool for identification and quantitation of different classes of lipids. | Sciex QTRAP 6500 MS/MS - One of the best is class triple-quadrupole MS instrument for the targeted quantitative analysis with MS3 fragemntation that enable for identification as well. It also equipped with the differnetial ion mobility technology. |

TSQ Vantage-Agilent 1290 UHPLC (LC-MS) - The Thermo Scientific TSQ Vantage uses precision hyperbolic quadrupoles, which provide the best transmission and peak shape, the detection technology and ion source results. It is the most sensitive triple quadrupole instrument. Agilent’s 1290 infinity series UHPLC system interfaces to the mass spectrometer for the automated LC-MS/MRM analysis. |
Thermo LTQ Orbitrap Discovery - This MS with its mass resolution of 30,000 at 400 m/z and mass accuracy of 1-2 ppm is optimized for high throughput proteomics experiments. It has two fragmentation techniques, CID and PQD, associated with and is an excellent tool for labeled and label-free quantitation.
