Exploris

Exploris refers to a family of high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) mass spectrometers manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific. These instruments utilize Orbitrap mass analyzer technology to provide accurate mass measurements, enabling researchers to identify and quantify a wide range of compounds in complex samples.

The Exploris platform is designed for various applications including proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, pharmaceutical analysis, and environmental monitoring. It offers a balance of performance, robustness, and ease of use. Key features often include:

• High Resolution: The ability to distinguish between ions with very small mass differences.
• Accurate Mass: The ability to measure the mass of ions with high accuracy, facilitating compound identification.
• Quantitative Capabilities: The ability to precisely measure the abundance of ions in a sample.
• Versatility: Compatibility with a variety of ionization techniques (e.g., electrospray ionization, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization) and separation methods (e.g., liquid chromatography, gas chromatography).

The Exploris series represents an evolution of Orbitrap technology, building upon previous generations of instruments to offer improved performance and capabilities. Different models within the Exploris family may offer varying levels of resolution, mass range, and scanning speed to suit specific analytical needs.
