Mass Spectrometer
The TSQ Quantum XLS Series mass spectrometers provides sample ionization and mass
analysis of samples introduced from a gas chromatograph or direct insertion probe. The mass
spectrometer uses a triple-quadrupole mass analyzer with an ion source external to the mass
analyzer. Several important features of the TSQ Quantum XLS Series mass spectrometers are
as follows:
• High sensitivity and resolution
• m/z 10 to 3000 mass range for the TSQ Quantum XLS, and m/z 10 to 1500 mass range
for the TSQ Quantum XLS Ultra
• EI and CI ionization modes
• Positive and negative ion polarity modes
• MS and MS/MS scan modes
• Full-scan, SIM, SRM, iSRM, QED MS, AutoSIM, and data-dependent scan types
The mass spectrometer includes the following components:
• Controls and Indicators
• EI/CI Ion Source
• Ion Optics
