Thermo Fusion Orbitrap Tribrid MassSpectrometer with ETD Fragmentation  

The versatile Fusion Orbitrap Tribrid mass spectrometer accommodates a variety of analysis types. This instrument is used for everything from routine protein identification to post-translational modification identification and localization using one of its three fragmentation mechanisms (CID, HCD,and ETD). Its tribrid design also permits higher order tandem MS scans, meaning that we can make use of newer isobaric reagents such as iTRAQ and TMT for label-based protein quantitation in addition to more traditional methods such as SILAC. The facility also has a Advion TriVersa NanoMate robot to facilitate intact protein analyses using the Fusion.
