The LTQ is a linear ion trap mass spectrometer, and it is used for metabolic profiling and proteomic analyses. It offers unparalleled sensitivity and ultra-fast cycle to deliver more information with low amount of sample, in less time. Samples can be run faster and still deliver higher quality data, allowing identification and quantification of low-level analytes in complex matrices.

Some of the LTQ applications include:

• protein identification
• identification of post-translational modifications
• biomarker studies
• metabolite identification and quantification
• drug screening.
