Triple Quad

A Triple Quad, short for Triple Quadrupole mass spectrometer, is an advanced scientific instrument used to analyze chemical compounds. It works by first separating molecules based on their size and charge, then selecting specific ions for further analysis. The system has three main parts: the first quadrupole filters out unwanted ions, the second (collision cell) fragments selected ions to get detailed information, and the third quadrupole analyzes these fragments. This setup allows scientists to identify and quantify substances with high sensitivity and precision, especially useful in fields like medical testing, environmental analysis, and pharmaceutical research.
