LC/MS chromatography system LCMS-8060NX

liquidtriple quadrupoleESI

The Culmination of Shimadzu's Expertise in Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry - IonFocus™ unit A newly-developed ESI probe with focus electrodes introduces ions into the mass spectrometer more efficiently, while expelling contaminants to reduce noise and provide more stable data. In addition, an improved heat-assist design promotes the ionization of a wide range of compounds. (Patented technology.) Simple design without cables or tubes. Remove or replace easily with the "one-touch" lever. Re-engineered ion guide improves robustness without compromising on sensitivity. Maintenance of UF-Qarray II and UF-Lens II can be performed easily without tools. Easy maintenance interface The LCMS-8060NX inherits all the ease-of-maintenance of its predecessors. Both the desolvation line (DL), which introduces the sample into the vacuum, and the ESI capillary can be replaced easily and in a short time. The DL can be replaced while maintaining the vacuum, minimizing downtime. Robustness and Ease of Use Maximized sensitivity, minimized matrix effects In the newly-developed IonFocus unit, the ion transport electrodes reduce sensitivity loss from matrix effects by expelling neutral matrix particles with greater efficiency. The graphs below show an analysis example of residual pesticides in tea leaves. Using the LCMS-8060NX's world-class polarity reversal speed (5 ms) and data capture speed (1.5 ms), stable data was obtained even for high-speed analysis of multiple components. The IonFocus unit also introduces ions into the detector more efficiently, improving the signal intensity. Of the 100 compounds tested, 96% showed excellent recoveries.
