Cerno Bioscience and Agilent Technologies have announced they will market Cerno's Massworks calibration software to Agilent GC/MSD Chemstation users.
This novel calibration increases the mass accuracy of Agilent's single quadrupole GC/MSD to identify unknown compounds.
This normally requires use of more expensive and larger instruments such as quadrupole time-of-flight or Fourier transform ion resonance mass spectrometers.
Massworks for GC/MSD uses Cerno's technology to calibrate raw MS data from Agilent's GC/MSD using peak shape, followed by Clip formula ID based on spectral accuracy.
This technique improves mass accuracy and enables single-quad instruments to identify unknown compounds.
In addition to enabling compound identification without a library, the formula ID function also speeds and adds confidence to library searches.
The combined capabilities of the Agilent GC/MSD Chemstation and Cerno's Massworks means there is now an economic alternative to high-resolution GC/MS systems for formula ID.
Massworks is compatible with Agilent 5975 and 5973 GC/MS instruments running Agilent MSD Chemstation software.
