with Enhanced Sensitivity

Higher Sensitivity for Q1 Full Scan Spectra

The LCMS-8040 maintains the same high-speed scanning (UFscanning) and polarity switching
technology (UFswitching) utilized in the LCMS-8030.

The LCMS-8040 not only maintains Shimadzu's proprietary pesticide samples (Methomyl, Carbaryl(NAC), Phoxim, Benfuracarb,
high-speed technologies (UF Technologies, USP7855355, USP8188426), and Abamectin B1a) is shown below. The upper spectra were
which minimize sensitivity losses even at faster scan speeds, it also acquired using the LCMS-8040 and the lower spectra were acquired
features improved ion optics, which provide higher sensitivity for using the LCMS-8030. As shown, the LCMS-8040 offers significant
MRMs and full scans. A comparison of Q1 full scan spectra for sensitivity improvements for precursor ions or full scan data.

Proven Interface for Robust Performance

Robust, User-Friendly Interface
The LCMS-8030 and LCMS-8040 use the same interface. In LCMS
analysis, it is necessary to adjust interface conditions such as
temperatures and gas flow rates for optimal desolvation. Spray
needle adjustment and probe position are also factors to be

evaluated. In both the LCMS-8030 and LCMS-8040, temperatures
and flows are easily controlled through the software. ESI probe Locking screw ESI Capillary
