Quadrupole time-of-flight for biologics

Standardized biologics characterization workflows have never been easier

Built specifically for biologics characterization, the X500B QTOF system will help you boost your analytical capacity, simplify workflows and accelerate throughput in a matter of days. This high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) system combines robust and reliable instrumentation with powerful and intuitive software to get you to characterization answers faster and easier, in a true benchtop platform. And with tools to enable a complete multiple attribute methodology (MAM) workflow, to allow you to define, track and quantify product quality attributes as well as specified contaminants, or find new unspecified impurities in a single software solution.
