Agilent Technologies has introduced the 6550 Ifunnel quadrupole time-of-flight liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry (Q-TOF LC/MS) system.
It increases TOF sensitivity to low-femtogram levels while delivering acquisition to 50 spectra/sec, up to five orders of intra-scan dynamic range, and robust performance and operation.
High sensitivity and speed make the 6550 Ifunnel Q-TOF particularly suited for highly challenging qualitative and quantitative analyses in applications such as metabolomics, food-safety screening, early-stage drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, and protein identification.
High-resolution TOF and Q-TOF are the systems of choice for screening unknown or unexpected chemicals.
This breakthrough sensitivity does not come at the expense of robust operation.
Careful re-engineering of the ion optics elements was required to accommodate the extremely high ion flux in this new system.
This translates directly into greater reliability and uptime for labs requiring productivity and the highest levels of performance.
The Agilent 6550 iFunnel Q-TOF is supported by new Masshunter software functionality to facilitate qualitative and quantitation analyses, as well as new Qual/Quan workflows.
New Study Manager capability allows quick setup of acquisition and processing methods to boost overall system efficiency.
