Anyone who would share their experiences with any of these instruments: Bruker Scion TQ or Thermo Quantum XLS Ultra? We analyze pesticides in serum samples and use an Agilent 7000A but we are planning on purchasing another instrument soon. Any opinions/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

HB!

You're only a stone's throw from the factory where the SCION is made (Fremont). Get in touch with a local rep and get a demo.

Thermo's instrument is old and outdated technology now. Compare the specs (particularly scan time) and see what you think. The software is also clunky when you have lots of MRMs.

Obviously I'm biased :)
