Xevo TQD with ACQUITY UPLC system:
Xevo TQD with nanoACQUITY UPLC system
The nanoACQUITY uses the optional NanoFlow source or TRIZAIC source, on
the Xevo TQD. It is designed for capillary-to-nano-scale separations. Its
sensitivity, resolution, and reproducibility well suit it for biomarker discovery
and proteomics applications, including protein identification and
characterization.
This system is optimized for high-resolution separations at precise nanoflow
rates. With closed-loop control, those rates range between 0.20 and
5.00 µL/min. With open-loop control and nanoACQUITY UPLC columns of
internal diameters ranging from 75 µm to 1 mm, the flow rates can extend to
100 µL/min. The column hardware and the matched outlet tubing can
withstand pressure of as much as 69,000 kPa (690 bar, 10,000 psi). The
column dimensions allow optimal MS-compatible flow rates, and matched
outlet tubing minimizes the effect of extra-column volume.
For further instruction, see the nanoACQUITY UPLC System Operator's
Guide, TRIZAIC UPLC System Guide, and Controlling Contamination in
LC/MS Systems (part number 715001307). You can find these documents on
