The API 7500 series is a turbo-molecular-pumped single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometer series from SCIEX.[1]
What it is
The SCIEX API 7500 is a mass spectrometer in the SCIEX API 7500 series. The API 7500 series is a turbo-molecular-pumped single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometer series from SCIEX. SCIEX is a manufacturer of mass spectrometry instrumentation used in biomedical and environmental applications.[4][5][1]
How it works
The API 7500 series belongs to the single-quadrupole and triple-quadrupole class of mass spectrometers. The API 7500 series uses turbo-molecular pumping rather than the earlier cryopump architecture associated with the API III platform. The API 7500 series emerged from a product evolution that followed the API 2000 and API 3000 lines.[1][4][5]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMass spectrometers of this class are analytical instruments rather than wafer-processing tools. Such instruments are typically used in laboratory workflows that characterize samples taken from research, development, manufacturing, or environmental contexts. Such instruments generally sit downstream of sample preparation and any chromatographic separation, and upstream of data interpretation and reporting.
