Peak Area Stability in Matrix: 20,000 Continuous Injections
CoreSpray technology applied to the repeated analysis of pesticides in black tea matrix resulting in enhanced robustness (%RSD less than 3.5%, 20,000 injections). Data generated without internal standards and without diverting to waste for the initial polar matrix effects.
Resilient
Maximizing Overall Workflow Efficiency
- Intelligent tools to help your workflow efficiency generating higher productivity and better data quality.
Preparation
Instrument Check
PERFORMANCE CONCIERGE makes tuning a mass spectrometer easier than ever before. A tuning standard is automatically introduced into the instrument to verify parameters, including mass accuracy, resolution, and signal strength. Based on these checks, tuning may be automatically initiated to ensure optimal performance. Should the criteria not be met, PERFORMANCE CONCIERGE will diagnose the issue and alert the operator of required maintenance and maximize uptime.
Optimization of Acquisition Conditions
Automates MRM optimization to create high sensitivity quantitative LC-MS/MS methods. LabSolutions Connect MRM not only optimizes target component MRM transitions and collision energies but also maximizes the response for on column analysis. All optimized acquisition parameters are stored in a data base helping to accelerate both method development and routine analysis.LabSolutions Connect (Learn more)
Startup
Integrated intelligence on the Nexera LC series that allows you to increase column life-times and reduce consumables by enabling automated column equilibration for flow rates and temperature.FlowPilot (Learn more)
Data Analysis
Peak Integration
Peakintelligence for LCMS is a world-first AI driven peak integration algorithm requiring zero user settings. The impact is dramatic. Peakintelligence for LCMS delivers higher consistency in peak integration and results in higher data quality and with far less time manually reviewing data.Peakintelligence™ for LCMS (Learn more)
- PeakIntelligence for LCMS was applied to the analysis of a panel of pesticides in a residue screening study highlighting consistent peak integration at low S/N or with overlapping components.
- PeakIntelligence for LCMS is an AI driven algorithm for component detection and peak integration without the need for any user parameter. PeakIntelligence for LCMS processing results in higher consistency in peak integration and reduces the time-consuming impact of manual review to achieve a more accurate, more reproducible peak processing.
Reviewing Data and Reporting Results
LabSolutions Insight supports a dynamic quantitative data review landscape with the tools to drive high confidence in result reporting by ‘review by exception’. Insight can be configured to check for any outliers outside the scope of user defined criteria for reporting results.LabSolutions Insight (Learn more)
Maintenance
Easy Maintenance Shortens Instrument Downtime
The RX Series keeps the same user-friendly maintenance as its predecessors. Changing the ESI capillary and the desolvation line (DL), which transports ions into the vacuum region, are designed for quick and effortless replacement without breaking vacuum helping to reduce time spent on maintenance and increase instrument uptime.
Responsible
Minimizing Global Environmental Impact
Highly Energy Efficient
The LCMS-TQ RX Series prioritizes environmental responsibility with its built-in ecology mode. This mode monitors system usage and automatically shuts down the instrument when idle for extended periods, reducing electricity consumption by an impressive 31%. Additionally, powering down peripheral LC-MS/MS equipment during non-analysis periods further minimizes energy use. These features contribute significantly to lowering operating costs and CO2 emissions while supporting the pursuit of a carbon-neutral future.
Reduced Waste to the Environment
The new oil-free addition to our rotary pump line eliminates the labor of oil changes, reduces overall oil consumption, and produces less environmental waste. Additionally, PERFORMANCE CONCIERGE and ecology mode minimize solvent and power consumption, reducing environmental impact.
