The Thermo Scientific™ TSQ Endura™ triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer provides unparalleled value, with LODs and LOQs unrivaled in its class. It delivers this best-in-class quantitation run after run and
day after day, even for complex and difficult-to-run samples. Close integration with application-specific software ensures maximum productivity. The instrument’s excellent analytical performance doesn’t come at the price of complexity or lack of durability; breakthrough software and hardware developments make operation far easier and more reliable than in previous-generation triple quadrupoles. The TSQ Endura MS helps users spend more time thinking about their analyses and less time worrying about instrument setup and operation.

• Extreme quantitative value in a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer
• Best-in-class sensitivity
• Ultrafast selected-reaction monitoring enables quantification of more compounds in less time
• Superb robustness and reliability
• Close integration with application-specific software ensures maximum productivity
• Simple method development and easy operation

Hardware Features

Thermo Scientific™ EASY-Max NG™ API Source

• Automatic connection of all gases and voltages on installation for simpler operation and greater reliability
• Automatic source recognition for ease of use and simplified data logging
• Sweep gas reduces chemical noise
• Enhanced exhaust port efficiently removes solvent vapor, improving uptime and reducing chemical noise
• Optimal 60 degree spray angle
• Minimal adjustment
• Interchangeable HESI and APCI ionization probes
• Dual-mode HESI and APCI capability

Ion Optics
RF-Lens

• The progressively spaced stacked-ring ion guide (RF-Lens) captures and efficiently focuses ions in a tight beam. Large variable spacing between electrodes provides better pumping efficiency and improved
  ruggedness. Automatic tuning program optimizes ion transmission.

Ion Beam Guide

The ion beam guide, with its neutral blocker, stops neutrals and high-velocity clusters, keeping the ion optics cleaner, reducing noise, and increasing sensitivity.

Hyperbolic Quadrupole Mass Filter
(Q1 and Q3)

• Hyperbolic quadrupoles with high ion transmission at isolation widths down to 0.4 amu provide excellent sensitivity and selectivity.

Active Collision Cell (Q2)

• The high-pressure argon-filled collision cell produces efficient fragmentation for high sensitivity. An axial DC field speeds ion transits, yielding up to 500 SRM/s with zero cross talk.

Vacuum System

• Four-stage differentially pumped vacuum manifold
• Advanced triple-inlet turbomolecular pump integrated with the vacuum manifold
• Single rotary vacuum pump configuration

Detector

• Dual-mode discrete-dynode detector increases sensitivity by operating in pulse-counting mode when ion flux is low and analog mode when ion flux is high
• Six orders of dynamic range provide high-confidence quantitation

Integrated Divert Valve and Syringe Pump

• Fully automated data system control of the divert valve enables switching the solvent front, gradient end point, or any portion of the HPLC run to waste.

Optional Ion Sources

• Thermo Scientific™ Ion Max NG™ ion source provides ultimate performance with full adjustments for optimization
• Thermo Scientific™ EASY-Spray NG™ ion source is designed for maximum nanoelectrospray performance with no need for adjustments
• Thermo Scientific™ Nanospray Flex NG™ ion source is designed for ultimate nanoelectrospray performance with complete flexibility of column selection
