New LC/MS Triple Quadrupole is 70% Smaller Footprint but
Equivalent Performance to Larger Instruments
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today, introduced the newest
member of its family of triple quadrupole liquid chromatography
mass spectrometers (triple quad LC/MS) at the American Society for
Mass Spectrometry Conference (ASMS), being held June 3 through June
8 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Ultivo triple quad is a
transformative approach to LC/MS that integrates several hardware
and software innovations designed to deliver even more improved
business results for customers.
Ultivo is optimized to address the food and environmental
routine testing segments employing triple quad LC/MS systems for
quantitative analyses. Ultivo delivers robust performance, superior
uptime, and easier serviceability, in a footprint that is 70%
smaller than previous instruments. Customers can now significantly
increase their analytical throughput without having to increase the
size of their existing laboratories.
“We are a production lab experiencing some significant growth,
so the ability to place more instrumentation in the same footprint
in the lab is important,” said Johnny Mitchell, president at ESC
Lab Sciences in Nashville, TN. “Without that ability we would be
faced with some expensive construction costs to increase the size
of our facilities.”
In addition to its trendsetting size, Ultivo provides
reproducible, reliable assays that result in exceptional
performance in complex matrices. Greater ion transmission
efficiency leads to optimized sensitivity; and improved,
intelligent diagnostics use intuitive readbacks that can quickly
identify issues, ensuring optimum uptime. Furthermore, Ultivo’s new
VacShield vacuum provides vent-less ion injector exchange
capabilities that reduce wear and tear and facilitate rapid
front-end maintenance.
“Agilent prides itself on actively listening to customers, and
addressing their needs through the continuous development of
innovative technology solutions. Ultivo provides a revolutionary
new ‘fit for purpose’ triple quad LC/MS, that is smaller than
could’ve been imagined, yet delivers the superior performance
usually associated with much larger instruments,” said Monty
Benefiel, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Mass
Spectrometry Division. “We are excited by our customers’ reactions
so far, and expect that Ultivo will dramatically change the LC/MS
landscape now, and for years to come.”
The food and environmental segments are important markets for
Agilent. Ultivo’s seamless integration with the Agilent MassHunter
Software suite provides high-performance instrument monitoring,
data acquisition, analysis, and reporting for currently regulated
and emerging environmental contaminants and pollutants in our water
supplies. Also, Ultivo’s fine-tuning ensures rigorous accuracy,
with selectivity, sensitivity, and precision monitoring, to deliver
specific identification and quantitation of a wide range of
contaminants, helping keep our worldwide food supplies safe.
