Mass spectrometry (MS) is an approach to chemical analysis that seeks to qualify and quantify the compounds of samples. Triple quadrupole mass spectrometer relies on the power of two linear quadrupole analyzers connected by a third quadrupole. It is here, in this second quadrupole, that collision gas is introduced to fragment the ions for detection. The first quadrupole is where certain ions are discarded before the analytes of interest are fragmented in the second quadrupole. From here, the fragment ions are directed into the third quadrupole to be scanned with results mapped into a spectrum.
In its long history of pioneering, Shimadzu’s advanced solution for triple quadrupole mass spectrometer is the LCMS-TQ RX Series. Innovative technology, exceptional design and new ways of thinking are part of our engineering DNA, delivering solutions for the ever-changing needs of any laboratory. As our scientific and business needs change, our engineering design evolves and adapts. The result is the RX Series of triple quadrupole LC-MS instruments designed with unmatched capability and redefined reliability, creating a new standard in actionable data.
With features including CoreSpray technology – a newly developed support mechanism for the nebulizer nozzle that improves reproducibility and stability during analysis. – as well as automated system checks and tuning for optimal performance via Performance Concierge™, mass spectrometry is easier than ever before. Plus, you’ll enjoy reduced electricity consumption by approximately 31% thanks to ecology mode, the series’ advanced energy-saving feature. For these reasons, particularly its unmatched high sensitivity and precision,
