Cutting edge and reliable technology

The best of both

Maximize uptime with a system that can handle even the most difficult matrices with ease. Includes legendary Turbo V ion source, QJet ion guide design, and the ultimate pulse counting detector.

• Turbo V ion source

  This legendary source provides high-sensitivity analysis over a wide range of flow rates with quick-change APCI and TurboIonSpray probes.

• QJet ion guide

  The innovative design yields excellent ion containment and operates at high pressure, providing better collisional focusing to enhance ion transmission for ultimate sensitivity.

• AcQuRate pulse counting detector

  The detector technology works in combination with a pulse overlap correction algorithm, enabling more accurate and precise ion detection over a wide dynamic range.
