FAQs

What are the roles of the collision cell and reflectron in QTOF mass spectrometer systems?

The collision cell in QTOF mass spectrometer systems selectively isolates ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z), inducing collision-induced dissociation (CID) for structural analysis, while the reflectron improves resolution and accuracy by reversing ion flight paths, allowing for precise measurement of ions with different m/z values.

What is the role of ion mobility in QTOF technology?

Ion mobility in QTOF technology serves as an additional separation dimension, allowing ions to be separated based on their size, shape, and charge, providing enhanced analytical capabilities and improving the specificity and accuracy of mass spectrometry measurements.

What should be considered when investing in HRAM technology for forensic toxicology workflows?

Consider data quality assurance, acquisition strategy, streamlined analysis, instrument robustness, and data storage implications to maximize the benefits of HRAM instruments in forensic labs.

What is Quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) technology?

Quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) technology is a type of mass spectrometry technology that combines the selectivity of a quadrupole mass filter with the high-resolution capabilities of a time-of-flight analyzer to enable precise and versatile analysis of ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z).
