Q Exactive Series eLearning Courses

The Q Exactive Series eLearning courses provide you with foundational knowledge and basic skills that you need to use and benefit from your instrument.

The Q Exactive Series User Maintenance and Troubleshooting eLearning course provides recommended maintenance guidelines and troubleshooting tips to maintain your Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ Series Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap™ Mass Spectrometer.

The Q Exactive Series Basic Operations eLearning course
Provides a novice user with instructions on how to operate the Q Exactive™ Series Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap™ Mass Spectrometer.

Topics included in this course:

• How to perform a system calibration with the BioPharma option, including guidelines on how to ensure spray stability, manipulating HESI source conditions, positive and negative mode calibrations, custom mass accuracy calibration, and high mass range (HMR) calibrations.
• How to perform a sample injection using a standard configuration of a Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ Flex LC system in connection with a Q Exactive™ Plus Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap™ MS.

The Q Exactive™ Series Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap™ Mass Spectrometer Foundational Theory eLearning course
Visits each of the major components within the Q Exactive instruments to answer two questions: what does it do and how does it work?

• The components include the ionization source, quadrupole, C-trap, HCD cell, Orbitrap, and more.
• Discussions are technical enough to describe the major functions and principles without diving deep into the underlying physics and electronics.
• This module targets users with some familiarity with mass spectrometry and chemistry concepts.
