Q EXACTIVE
Instrument Overview
Q Exactive is Thermo Fisher Scientific’s classic high-resolution mass spectrometry platform. It uses a Quadrupole + Orbitrap hybrid architecture that combines precursor-ion selection with high-resolution, high-mass-accuracy detection, making it one of the most widely used Orbitrap platforms for proteomics, metabolomics, and small-molecule analysis.
Key Features
- High-resolution Orbitrap analyzer provides accurate mass measurement and isotope peak separation.
- Fast scanning performs multiple MS/MS scans per second for high-throughput analysis.
- High sensitivity enables precise detection of low-abundance proteins, metabolites, and small molecules.
- Multiple fragmentation options, including HCD, support peptide and PTM analysis.
- Stable, reliable long-term operation supports batch sample analysis.
Platform Applications
- Proteomics: whole-proteome identification, quantitative analysis, and low-abundance protein detection
- Metabolomics: qualitative and quantitative analysis of small-molecule metabolites and lipids
- Drug discovery: drug metabolite analysis, PK/PD studies, and drug-target research
