Unique Features of the Exactive Plus
The Exactive Plus Orbitrap LC-MS is a benchtop full scan MS system designed for compound identification, high-throughput and high-performance screening and for qualitative and quantitative analysis. The Exactive Plus delivers high resolution accurate mass (HRAM) to provide fast, precise and reproducible results.
The availability of HRAM and full scan; all the data, all the time, allows retrospective data analysis for qualitative and quantitative applications. Moreover, it eliminates MS method development leading to improved and simplified analytical throughput in drug discovery laboratories.
Exactive Plus is easy-to-use, cost effective to operate and coupled with workflow-driven software, makes an ideal instrument for new users in routine analytical laboratories.

Customer Testimonials on the Exactive Plus
“The advantages of a Exactive Plus is to screen and to quantify in one chromatographic run with exact masses, isotopic pattern and fragmentation information’s. The AIF experiments seem to be much more sensitive than with the Exactive”
– Dr. Thorsten Bernsmann, Chemisches Landes- und Staatliches Veterinäruntersuchungsamt Münster (CVUA), Germany
“Benefit of Exactive Plus (HR full scan) versus SRM in Triple Quad MS are a 'full' picture of the sample and Quan/Qual analyses”
– Dr. Bertrand Rochat, Le Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois (CHUV), Switzerland
