What it is

The SCIEX X500-Series is a line of benchtop quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometers.^[1]

The X500-Series evolved from the QSTAR QTOF instrument, which SCIEX introduced in 1999.^[1]

The X500-Series is part of SCIEX's present-day product line, representing the evolution of the QSTAR platform.^[1]

Applications

Mass spectrometers of the X500-Series class are used in biomedical and environmental applications, as well as in pharmaceutical analysis and metabolomics.^[1]
