The Fusion instrument is combining a quadrupole, an ion trap and an Orbitrap and therefore named as a tribrid mass spectrometer that is from Thermo Fisher Scientific. This instrument is also used for untargeted and targeted proteomic analyses as well as for intact protein measurements. Photo: Edita Ruzgas
