The LCQ Deca XP is an electrospray ionization/ion trap mass spectrometer. A sample can be introduced by direct infusion using a syringe pump, by flow injection using a injection valve and an LC pump, or by LC fitted with a column (LC/MS). The LCQ is equipped with the Xcalibur software suite that permits simultaneous acquisition of mass spectral data and photodiode array (PDA) data. The capability of on-line MS^n allows structural characterization of the separated components.

The biggest advantage of the ion trap is its ability to perform multiple stages of mass spectrometry. Up to 10 stages (MS^10) can be performed using an ion trap, greatly increasing the amount of structural information obtainable for a given molecule. This capability can be very powerful in structure elucidation of metabolites, natural products, and sugars.
