The Waters Xevo G2 QTof employs QuanTof technology to deliver exceptional sensitivity and precision for both quantitative and qualitative analysis, making it the most advanced benchtop MS/MS system available. QuanTof ensures accurate mass measurement and high precision throughout LC peaks, resulting in enhanced selectivity and confidence when detecting and identifying components within intricate mixtures.
The system combines two groundbreaking technologies to achieve its remarkable TOF (time-of-flight) performance: the high field pusher and dual-stage reflectron of QuanTof. These technologies incorporate parallel wire grids with high transmission capabilities, minimizing ion turnaround time by managing pre-push kinetic energy dispersion and improving the focus of high-energy ions. Additionally, the ion detection system combines an ultra-fast electron multiplier with hybrid ADC (analog-to-digital converter) detector electronics, ensuring exceptional sensitivity and reliable quantitative performance.
The Xevo G2 QTof MS/MS system finds wide applications, including peptide mapping and intact mass analysis of biopharmaceuticals, simultaneous quantitative and qualitative analysis of metabolites in pharmaceutical research, characterizing complex biological systems in proteomics and metabonomics studies, and safeguarding food safety and environmental quality.
