Description

The Thermo Scientific LTQ FT Ultra combines advanced Ion Trap and Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (ICR) technologies into a single instrument. The ICR cell design produces enhanced sensitivity and greater dynamic range.

The LTQ-FT provides ultra-high resolution and high mass accuracy for ions within complex samples. It is equipped with ESI, nano ESI and APCI ionization sources and CID and ECD fragmentation technologies. It is also coupled to a nanoLC pump system for LC-MS/MS analysis of complex mixtures.
