Advantages of LC-MS-2000
1. The unique and innovative design of the ion source
The position of the ion source spray needle can be flexibly adjusted to be adaptable to the analysis of complex samples under different flow rates.The adoption of the patented heating technology and sheath gas fluid atomization technology at the ion source atomization chamber has substantially improved the efficiency of atomization and desolvation , reduced the background noise, and increased the sensitivity of the instrument.The adoption of the ion optical off-axis design for the ion transmission at the ion source injection port contributes to a clean cone-hole for a much longer period of time and the minimization of the interference caused by the pollution, improving the ion transmission efficiency and obtaining a better sensitivity.
2. The function of acquiring data from multiple channels has raised the analysis speed and work efficiency.
Full scan mode can be applied to the qualitative analysis of target compounds for one sample injection; SIM mode can be applied to the quantitative analysis of the target compounds.The SIM mode can be applied to the analysis of low concentration compounds or low response compounds, and the full scan mode can be applied to the analysis of unknown compounds with high concentration or high ionization efficiency.Free selection and combination of positive or negative ionization modes, SIM or full scan modes can support a scanning under different conditions of data acquisition for one sample injection, and the analysis of more complex samples, substantially improving the analysis speed and working efficiency of the users.
3. A fast switching between positive and negative ionization modes can support a flexible test.
A higher response ionization mode can be selected and applied because of the capability of fast switching between positive and negative ionization modes, which is convenient to the optimization of the methods and conditions without affecting the integrity of the chromatography separation. It is suggested to obtain both the positive-ion and negative-ion mass spectrum for one sample injection of those compounds that can be ionized in both modes (positive-ion and negative-ion modes) for a more reliable result.
4. Capability of obtaining abundant mass spectrum information, including molecular mass and multiple structural information.
The provision of in-source collision induced dissociation (CID) function has increased the structural fragmentation information, which is beneficial to the mass spectrum analysis of target compounds.
5. The ChemAnalyst software has powerful functions and its operation is simple because of the friendly user interface.
ChemAnalyst, as a powerful software of chemical workstation can simplify your data analysis work and make it become an automated processing workflow from mass spectrum calibration to methods setup, sample collection and data analysis. Advanced data-acquisition and data- processing modules support a separate use of them, which can make mass spectrum analysis much faster, easier and more efficient.
