ThermoFisher Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICPMS) with a Laser Ablation Module (LAM) Inductively Coupled Plasma MS (ICP-MS)

Laser ablation ICP-MS (LA ICP-MS) is a microanalytical technique for the determination of trace elements in solid materials with a growing number of applications in fields such as geochemistry, materials science, forensics and environmental studies. LA ICP-MS combines the micrometer-scale resolution of a laser probe with the speed, sensitivity and multi-element capability of ICP-MS, and rivals other microbeam techniques such as the proton microprobe and secondary ion mass spectrometry (i.e. the "ion probe").

ThermoFisher Q1955 Thermo Scientific LTQ Orbitrap Velos Mass Spectrometer Mass Spectrometer (MS)

The LTQ Orbitrap Velos is ideal for the analyses of complex proteomics samples generated from clean protein lysates, or from peptides extracted from SDS-PAGE gels. It is also used to run and analyse various complex samples in order to determine the proteome of each specific sample. The LTQ Orbitrap Velos MS is able to do intact mass determination of proteins up to 50 kDa. and has the capability to do N-terminal sequencing of proteins with its resolving power of more than 100 000. The mass accuracy is superior for proteomics applications with a mass accuracy of better than 1ppm.
