Shimadzu LCMS-8040 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS  high-performance mass spectrometer offering ultra-fast, high-sensitivity quantitative LC-MS/MS for pharmaceutical, food safety, environmental, clinical, and forensic applications.
  • Key Features:

    • High-sensitivity triple quadrupole system designed for robust, reproducible quantitative LC-MS/MS analysis.

    • Incorporates Shimadzu’s UFsweeper™ collision cell for ultra-fast and efficient collision-induced dissociation, reducing ion losses and enabling rapid MRM transitions.

    • Polarity switching time of just 15 msec, enabling simultaneous analysis of positive and negative ions in a single run.

    • Ultra-fast MRM transitions (up to 555 transitions/sec) for complex multi-analyte quantification.

    • Improved ion optics and heated ESI/APCI sources for high sensitivity across a broad range of compounds.

    • Wide dynamic range (over 5 orders of magnitude) for accurate quantification from trace-level to high-abundance compounds.

    • Stability and robustness for continuous operation in high-throughput labs.

    • Seamlessly integrated with Shimadzu LC platforms (Nexera or Prominence series) and LabSolutions software for full workflow automation.

    • Compact footprint with energy-efficient vacuum system for routine and research labs.

    • Full compliance with GLP/GMP and 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.

  • Applications:

    • Pharmaceutical & Biopharma: Pharmacokinetics (PK), drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK), bioanalysis, clinical trials.

    • Food Safety: Pesticides, mycotoxins, veterinary drug residues, additives, contaminants.

    • Environmental: Monitoring of water, soil, and air contaminants, trace organic pollutants.

    • Forensics & Toxicology: Drug screening, doping control, forensic casework.

    • Clinical Research: Biomarker quantitation, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM).

    • Industrial & Specialty Chemicals: QA/QC of raw materials, formulations, and specialty compounds.

    • Academic Research: High-throughput targeted quantitation in complex biological and chemical samples.
