TSQ Quantis™ Plus Triple Quadrupole MS eLearning Courses

TSQ Quantis™ Triple Plus Quadrupole MS eLearning courses provide you with foundational knowledge and basic skills that you need to use and benefit from your instrument. You will find a series of eLearning courses which can cover different topics such as foundational theory and/or basic operations principle and/or user maintenance and troubleshooting.

The TSQ Quantis™ Plus Triple Quadrupole MS foundational theory eLearning course introduces how triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers work, the basic hardware configuration of TSQ Series II systems, and the different scan types they can perform.

Some of the concepts and topics presented include:

• Principles of MS/MS operation
• Specificity and sensitivity of mass spectrometers
• Basic hardware configuration
• Overview of the vacuum system
• Components inside the mass spectrometer
• Scan types

This Foundational Theory eLearning course is similar and applicable to all TSQ Series II instruments; e.g. TSQ Quantiva™, TSQ Endura™, TSQ Quantis™, TSQ Fortis™, TSQ Altis™, TSQ Altis™ Plus, and TSQ Fortis™ Plus.

The TSQ Quantis™ Plus Triple Quadrupole MS user maintenance and troubleshooting eLearning course provides detailed instructions through video demonstrations of several routine maintenance procedures performed on the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ™ Series II triple quadrupole mass spectrometers with an OptaMax ion source.

• Removal, disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, and reinstallation of the external components of the API source and OptaMax source.
• Removal, disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, and reinstallation of the external components of the API source interface lenses.
• Replacement of the H-ESI spray insert needle.
• Replacement of the ESI spray insert needle.
• Replacement of the APCI spray insert sample tube.
• Replacement of the APCI corona needle.

The content included in this training module applies to the second and third-generation TSQ™ Series II instruments: Altis™, Quantis™, Fortis™, Altis™ Plus, Quantis™ Plus, and Fortis™ Plus.
