Reliable Operation
            Accurate Processes from Method Creation to Data Analysis




            The Smart Database series, which are specialized for various fields, and Smart MRM function, which optimizes sensitivity, can be used   4NBSU .3.
            to accurately create methods for ultra-trace analysis and reliably achieve high-sensitivity analysis from MRM measurements. The
            LabSolutions Insight software, designed to support quantitative analysis of multianalyte data, enhances the throughput of data   Automatic Method Creation
            analysis from simultaneous analysis of multiple components in trace concentrations. The extensive accuracy control functions enable
            decisions to be made based on the easy-to-understand visualization of quantitative analysis and accuracy control results.  The Smart MRM technology automatically creates methods with measurement times optimized for each component based on the Smart
                                                                                                                                      database. The Automatic Adjustment of Retention Time (AART) function incorporated in the system estimates retention times with high

                                                                                                                                      which data are acquired with high sensitivity only during the elution time of the target components. In addition to MRM methods, SIM

            Determining and optimizing MRM transitions for new compounds can require significant development time. The “MRM Optimization Tool“
            automates the process by collecting product ion scan data and finding the optimum collision energy for each transition.
            Once established, the transitions are registered to one of the Shimadzu “Smart Database” files, and the MRM or Scan/MRM methods are
            created using Smart MRM.
