Understanding the difference between single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry
Part 1: Understanding the difference between single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry
Are you evaluating your next LC-MS investment or wondering which system best fits your workflows? Join the webinar with Aidan Harrison and gain clarity on the capabilities of single quadrupole (SQ), triple quadrupole (TQ), and QTRAP® mass spectrometers.
In this session, we break down the fundamentals of mass spectrometry and dive into scan modes such as SIM, MRM, and MRM³. You’ll also discover how the hybrid power of QTRAP technology helps you go beyond quantification—offering qualitative confidence in even the most complex samples. Whether you're handling routine analyses or pushing detection limits in trace-level workflows, this webinar will help you make a confident, informed decision.
What you’ll learn:
- Key differences between SQ, TQ, and QTRAP platforms
- How SIM, MRM, and MRM³ scan modes impact sensitivity and selectivity
- When QTRAP technology adds value in method development and confirmation
- Why QTRAP is ideal for analysts balancing quantitation with structural elucidation
- Practical considerations based on matrix complexity, LOQ/LOD, and throughput
