LC Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer

Thermo Scientific Vanquish Horizon UPLC + ISQEC system.     

The LC Orbitrap MS instrument is intended for identification and quantification of small molecules using high resolution high accuracy mass spectrometry data.

It is commonly used to study , but not limited to, these classes of chemicals:

  • Food and environmental contaminants (e.g. PFAS, pesticides and mycotoxins)
  • Natural components of foods (e.g. vitamins)
  • Metabolites (via targeted or untargeted metabolomics approaches).

The typical sample types will be composite foods and food simulants, but other matrices could be analyzed including environmental (e.g. drinking water) or biological samples (e.g. blood plasma)
