  • High Dynamic Range: More than 6 orders of magnitude dynamic range for quantifying analytes across wide concentration levels.

  • Fast Polarity Switching: <20 ms enables simultaneous positive/negative mode analysis.

  • Robust Quantitative Accuracy: Unit-mass resolution across the mass range with exceptional reproducibility.

  • Enhanced Collision Cell: High-efficiency collision cell (LCID) with axial acceleration for rapid, sensitive fragmentation.

  • Advanced MRM & dMRM Modes: Supports thousands of transitions with high acquisition speed (>500 transitions/sec).

  • Integrated Agilent Jet Stream ESI Source: Maximized desolvation and ion focusing for higher sensitivity.

  • System Reliability: Designed for long-term stability, uptime, and reduced maintenance.

  • Regulatory-Ready Software: Agilent MassHunter with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, audit trails, and secure reporting.

  • Versatile Workflows: Compatible with UHPLC systems like the Agilent 1290 Infinity II for maximum chromatographic resolution.


Applications:

  • Pharmaceutical & Biopharmaceutical: Pharmacokinetics (PK), drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK), clinical bioanalysis, impurity profiling, and biotherapeutic quantitation.

  • Food Safety & Quality: Pesticide residues, veterinary drugs, mycotoxins, food contaminants, and authenticity testing.

  • Environmental Monitoring: Quantitation of emerging contaminants, endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products in water, soil, and air.

  • Clinical & Forensic Toxicology: Drug testing, biomarker validation, forensic toxicant analysis, and metabolite profiling.

  • Proteomics & Metabolomics: Targeted quantitation of proteins, peptides, lipids, and metabolites.

  • Regulated Laboratory Workflows: GLP/GMP labs requiring 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and secure validated reporting.
