Thermo Orbitrap Velos Pro XL with ETD Module
Overview
The Thermo Orbitrap Velos Pro XL is a hybrid high-resolution mass spectrometer combining an Orbitrap mass analyser with a dual-pressure linear ion trap. The XL configuration extends analytical flexibility and is supplied here with an electron transfer dissociation (ETD) module for advanced fragmentation workflows. This system is designed for accurate-mass measurement and multi-stage MS analysis of complex biological samples.
Highlights
- Hybrid Orbitrap and dual-pressure linear ion trap mass analyser architecture
- Integrated ETD module for complementary peptide and protein fragmentation

Applications
This system is commonly used in proteomics for detailed peptide and protein characterisation using multiple fragmentation techniques. The combination of high-resolution Orbitrap detection and ETD supports analysis of post-translational modifications and labile bonds. It is also applied in metabolomics and structural biology research requiring accurate-mass MSn data.
