Ask the Expert: Explore the New Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap™ Tribrid™ Apex Mass Spectrometer

Join our experts for an in-depth look at the new Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap™ Tribrid™ Apex Mass Spectrometer, a flexible, high-performance platform engineered for greater speed, sensitivity, fragmentation flexibility, and performance across demanding analyses.

Whether you’re working in proteomics and multiomics, structural biology, biopharmaceutical characterization, or small-molecule analysis, the Orbitrap Tribrid Apex MS combines high-resolution accurate-mass performance with advanced ion parallelization, flexible MSⁿ workflows, infrared-enabled fragmentation, and intelligent acquisition. Learn how these capabilities can help researchers gain deeper insight into complex samples, from identifying and quantifying low-level compounds to characterizing PTMs, protein complexes, and complex biotherapeutics.

This session will also explore how the Orbitrap Tribrid Apex platform can be tailored to different scientific needs. Four application-focused editions for MultiOmics, Structural Biology, BioPharma, and Small Molecule research extend the core capabilities of Tribrid mass spectrometry with specialized functionality for different workflows. Our experts will discuss how these capabilities can be applied to real experimental challenges and answer your questions about the platform, applications, and workflows.
