Recently, a new dissociation technique called Pulsed Q Collision Induced Dissociation (PQD), has been developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific and implemented exclusively for their linear ion trap mass spectrometers. The patented technique of PQD generates spectra qualitatively similar to CID, however, at the same time, it allows the observation of low m/z fragments that are usually excluded from CID spectra and also helps to access higher energy dissociation channels.
PQD is a powerful technique that offers new analytical strategies for both small molecule and proteomics applications. PQD is available exclusively with the LXQ,™ LTQ XL, ™ and hybrid LTQ™ mass spectrometers.
