Bruker has unveiled its EVOQ Qube and the ultra-high sensitivity EVOQ E LC triple quadrupole mass spectrometers.
The EVOQ LC-TQ systems incorporate Bruker’s new Advance Ultra-High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) technology.
In addition, the EVOQ platform features several major innovations:
- The industry’s first Vacuum-Insulated Probe (VIP) heated electrospray technology preserves and ionizes thermally fragile molecules with high sensitivity.
- The Active Exhaust atmospheric pressure ionisation source with a robust orifice vacuum interface significantly enhances quantitative robustness for difficult samples.
- The novel, ‘flat-tuning’, proprietary Interlaced Quadrupole Dual Funnel (IQ-DF) maximises sensitivity.
- PACERTM software enables ‘exception based data-review’, a revolutionary feature that reduces the error rate for quantitative analysis.
Bruker’s patented lens-free triple-quad mass filter design, which enhances MRM performance, is standard on all EVOQ systems, making the EVOQ LC-TQ inherently easier to use and maintain.
Other high-performance TQ features include Bruker’s unique Compound Based Scanning (CBS) technology, the novel VIP heated-ESI and APCI ion sources, fast 14,000 amu/sec scan speed and 25 milliseconds positive/negative ion switching, all for leading-edge TQ performance and analytical power.
The Advance HPLC, UHPLC, and the UHPLC-OLE products offer ultra-low dead-volume which enables reproducibility at analytical flow-rates, an integrated column-oven, and bench-space savings.
Paired with the industry workhorse CTC auto-sampler, the Advance LC portfolio delivers precision and accuracy required for sustained, high-sensitivity LC-MRM quantitative analysis.
