Apex-QTM Hybrid FTMS: Unique Power for Complex Proteomics

Victor Fursey, Bruker Daltonics Inc.


The APEX-Q platform combines a Q-q- "front-end" and a high field FTMS magnet (7, 9.4 or 12 Tesla) for the ultimate resolution proteomics mass spectrometer. This novel combination increases the superb resolution and mass accuracy of FTMS by using the latest proprietary high-field magnet technology, while adding efficient precursor mass selection and collision induced dissociation in a conventional Q-q "front end" for on-the-fly data-dependent MS/FTMS fragmentation or selected accumulation of LC-separated protein digests.

The high-field APEX-Q can deliver sub-ppm mass accuracy, enormous resolving power for peptide mixtures, wide bandwidth detection, high dynamic range, and fast automated data-dependent MS/MS for detailed proteome characterization when coupled on-line to liquid chromatography. With the APEX-Q, the life science researcher now has access to automated data dependent MS/MS functionality operating with dynamic exclusion lists, inclusion lists and other "smart" MS/MS proteomics protocols with the added benefit of FTMS caliber performance.

The Figure shown above illustrates data dependent Nano-LC-FTMS/MS with accurate mass.

Additional features include:

  • MALDI and ESI / nanospray interfaces are possible with "on the fly" 30 sec switchover time using CombiSource
  • Unique ion enrichment for MS and MS/MS ions is performed using Qq
  • Enhanced problem solving with wide dynamic range
  • New software for straight-forward usage and compatability with other
  • Bruker MS systems/data
