Chemistry & Biochemistry Seminar: "Single-quad vs triple-quad vs QTOF technology - how they differ and what type of data each produces"

By: Adam Klein and Greg Feldman, Shimadzu Corporation

Abstract

Shimadzu Corporation is a manufacture of scientific instruments for broad application areas and the product lineups of the company include various spectrophotometers (UV/vis, fluorescence, IR, Raman etc.), GCs, HPLCs, mass spectrometers, material testing instruments and many other instruments. Shimadzu is also known for pursuing cutting-edge science and technologies in analytical and measuring instruments.  In fact, Koichi Tanaka, a research fellow of Shimadzu Corporation, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002 on his work at Shimadzu for "developing a novel method for mass spectrometric analyses of biological macromolecules" with John Bennett Fenn and Kurt Wüthrich. 

In this seminar, Adam Klein and Greg Feldman from Shimadzu Corporation will present the fundamental aspects of how three different types of mass spectrometers (single-quadrupole, triple-quadrupole and QTOF mass spectrometers) work and how they are used in modern chemical analyses.
