What is QTOF?

Q-TOF (Quadrupole Time-of-Flight) is a type of mass spectrometer that combines a quadrupole mass analyzer with a time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer. It is known for its high resolution, high mass accuracy, and ability to perform tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) experiments. Q-TOF instruments are commonly used in proteomics, metabolomics, drug discovery, and environmental analysis for identifying and quantifying molecules in complex samples.
