The LTQ Series mass spectrometer provides sample ionization and mass analysis of injected
samples or samples eluted from a liquid chromatograph. The mass spectrometer uses a linear
ion trap mass analyzer with an ion source external to the mass analyzer.
The LTQ Series mass spectrometer includes the following components:
• "LEDs" on page 13
• "Power Panel" on page 14
• "API Source" on page 15
