MaXis 4G Mass Spectrometer

Overview

MaXis 3

The Bruker MaXis 4G QTOF (Quadrupole Time-Of-Flight) mass spectrometer, coupled with ElectroSpray Ionization (ESI) and Ultra High Performance Liquidy Chromatography (uHPLC; Dionex UltiMate 3000), allows for precise mass spectrometry (MS), liquid chromatography (LC)-MS or MS/MS analysis for a variety of small molecules, compounds and metabolites, in a single experiment, with high resolution.
