Agilent Technologies has introduced a bench-top ultra-high definition (UHD) accurate mass quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) LC/MS.
The company has also added the next-generation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and a triple quadrupole LC/MS.
The Agilent 6540 UHD accurate mass Q-TOF offers superior data quality and advanced analytical capabilities, enabling researchers to profile, identify, characterise and quantify low molecular-weight compounds and biomolecules with greater confidence.
Innovative ion beam compression (IBC) and enhanced mirror technology (EMT) produce ultra-high definition mass accuracy and mass resolution while maintaining a bench-top format.
The 7700 series ICP-MS trace element analyser is the successor to the Agilent 7500.
The 7700 series provides data integrity, is simple to operate and occupies a small footprint.
The 7700 series occupies 73cm of bench space.
Despite its small footprint, the 7700 series delivers high performance and ease-of-use in a rugged package.
Collision/reaction cells have been adopted as the industry-standard technology for removing spectral interferences in ICP-MS.
Agilent's octopole reaction system (ORS), featuring helium collision mode, provides a reliable and effective interference removal, especially for complex and unknown sample types.
The 7700 series features a third-generation cell (ORS3) that further improves the efficiency of helium mode, eliminating the need to use reaction mode (with reactive cell gases such as hydrogen) in almost all applications.
This simplifies operation and eliminates false positives that frequently occur with reaction mode, thereby improving data quality.
The new collision/reaction cell, plus Agilent's high matrix introduction technology, which is standard on the 7700, makes the instrument particularly well suited for complex sample types such as food, wastewater and soil digests, while a redesigned ion lens improves sensitivity and reduces background noise across the mass range.
The Agilent 6430 triple quadrupole LC/MS is the next generation of the 6410 instrument, delivering higher sensitivity, faster monitoring of ions and faster polarity switching.
The Agilent 6430 is well suited for food testing, water analysis and protein biomarker discovery and validation, and the added performance comes at a modest price increase over the previous model.
The 6430 shares many of the features of Agilent's 6460 triple quadrupole MS, including an additional turbo pump for better ion transmission and better sensitivity.
The instrument also features faster polarity switching, and is able to switch from positive ion mode to negative ion mode in 30ms.
This allows greater flexibility to analyse complex mixtures, and to optimise sensitivity by exploiting the most prolific ions for a given analyte.
Agilent has also introduced pesticide and toxicology kits to help labs quickly implement new workflows and generate high confidence results.
The application kits include the latest techniques to improve productivity in the laboratory, such as GC capillary flow technology, deconvolution reporting and large GCMS and LCMS screening databases to speed up data review and analysis.
The application kits include a method of analysis, the analytical column and a documentation pack with a quick-start guide.
Some application kits even include a free sample preparation pack, advanced video tools to learn additional system features quickly and easily and application verification with a representative checkout standard.
The quick-start kits are available for GC, LC, GC/MS and LC/MS applications in food, environmental, forensics and petrochemical analysis.
Additionally, the Agilent GC and GCMS kits are preconfigured in manufacturing and the applications are pretested to save days or weeks of typical start-up time and effort in the lab.
