Intelligent Data Dependent acquisition of the LCQ Fleet enables rapid compound screening for maximum structural information.
When analysing natural products, traditional approaches have proven to be particularly time-consuming.
Featuring a fast cycle time and excellent MSn spectral quality, the LCQ Fleet enables rapid identification and characterisation of known and unknown natural products without the need for a lengthy pre-purification process.
Furthermore, the Ion Max source delivers outstanding robustness for the most demanding analytical applications.
The high quality MSn data can be searched against the built-in or user-defined libraries embedded in the Mass Frontier software for compound identification and data reporting.
The LCQ Fleet also enables routine peptide identification with high correlation scores for confident sequence identification.
The fast scanning capability of the instrument resolves co-eluting peptides often present in complex protein digests.
The LCQ Fleet operates on the flexible, Windows-based Thermo Scientific Xcalibur software platform, which provides automated LC-MS/MS instrument control as well as quick and efficient data acquisition, processing and results delivery.
The robust LCQ Fleet is capable of generating dependable results for routine compound identification in complex matrices.
