Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces Linear Ion Trap Trade-Up Program for Single Quadrupole and Ion Trap LC-MS Users

By trading-in their old single quadrupole or ion trap mass spectrometers, scientists can upgrade the analytical power of their laboratory with the Thermo Scientific LTQ XL or the LTQ Velos the world's fastest and most sensitive LC-MS ion trap, or receive up to 30 percent off the price of a new Thermo Scientific linear ion trap. An additional benefit is the opportunity to further extend performance with an upgrade path to Thermo Scientific Orbitrap technology, offering ultra-high resolution, mass accuracy and increased dynamic range.

For proteomics researchers, Thermo Fisher Scientific is offering the alternative incentive of a free ETD (electron transfer dissociation) technology upgrade is available with the purchase of a Thermo Scientific LTQ XL or LTQ Velos. ETD generates enriched peptide fragmentation for increased protein coverage and post-translational modification (PTM) site identification.

The recently launched LTQ Velos linear ion trap features a new dual-pressure trap and advanced ion optics, making it the world's fastest and most sensitive ion trap mass spectrometer. The instrument, which delivers improved data quality and more efficient trapping and fragmentation of ions, is ideal for the analysis of complex mixtures.

The launch of the trade-up program will help new and existing customers improve their method of analysis with the enhanced speed and sensitivity that Thermo Scientific linear ion trap technology routinely delivers.
