The SCIEX Triple Quad 5500+ System

Food samples are among the most complex and variable matrices in analytical science. Whether you're testing for pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, mycotoxins, or food additives, the SCIEX 5500+ system delivers exceptional sensitivity and selectivity. Its robust design ensures consistent performance, even when analyzing challenging matrices like spices, dairy, meat, or processed foods. The SCIEX 5500+ system is built for high-throughput environments, enabling rapid, reproducible quantification of hundreds of analytes in a single run. With ultra-fast polarity switching and a wide dynamic range, it supports simultaneous detection of trace-level contaminants and high-abundance compounds, without compromising accuracy. This means faster turnaround times, more confident results, and the ability to meet strict regulatory requirements with ease. What makes the 5500+ system truly stand out is its QTRAP® Ready capability. With a simple software license, you can unlock advanced scan modes that transform your triple quad into a hybrid system with qualitative and quantitative power. This is a game-changer for food testing labs that need to: Confirm the identity of unknown contaminants Understand structural information of emerging food hazards Increase selectivity in complex sample backgrounds With MRM³, Enhanced Product Ion (EPI) scans, and precursor ion scans, you gain deeper insights into your samples, without sacrificing throughput. Food testing labs demand instruments that can handle high sample volumes and variable conditions. The SCIEX 5500+ system features the Turbo V™ ion source, known for its durability and consistent ionization across a wide range of compound classes. For even greater confidence in your results, the 5500+ system supports SelexION® differential mobility spectrometry (DMS). This optional add-on provides an extra layer of separation before mass analysis, helping to resolve isobaric interferences and improve quantification in complex food matrices. From regulatory compliance to brand protection, the SCIEX 5500+ system is trusted by food safety labs around the world. Its applications span: Pesticide residue analysis in fruits, vegetables, and grains Veterinary drug screening in meat, milk, and seafood Mycotoxin detection in cereals, nuts, and spices Food additive and preservative monitoring Why choose the SCIEX 5500+ system? Exceptional sensitivity for trace-level detection High-speed MRM acquisition for large multi-residue panels QTRAP® functionality for advanced workflows Proven robustness for continuous, high-throughput operation Regulatory-ready performance for global food safety standards With the SCIEX Triple Quad 5500+ system, your lab is equipped to meet today’s food safety challenges, and tomorrow’s.
