What it is
The SCIEX API 2000 is a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer designed for liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The instrument was introduced in 1998 as a benchtop system. The API 2000 was developed by the AB Sciex joint venture between Applied Biosystems and MDS Sciex. The API 2000 belongs to the generation of SCIEX mass spectrometers that replaced the earlier cryopump-based API III platform with turbo-molecular-pumped vacuum systems.[1][2][4]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe SCIEX API 2000 is typically coupled to a liquid chromatography (LC) system that separates compounds before mass spectrometric analysis. The LC system delivers the sample in a mobile phase to the ionization source of the mass spectrometer. Upstream processes include sample preparation and chromatographic separation. Downstream processes include data acquisition and analysis using software for quantification and identification of analytes.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe API 2000 is also used in food safety testing, proteomics research, and bioanalysis. The instrument supports a range of ionization techniques to accommodate different analyte polarities and sample matrices.
