Third-Generation Instrument Delivers Enhanced Analytical
Performance and Unique Capabilities
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today introduced a new
high-resolution, accurate-mass system designed for laboratories
doing food and environmental testing, life science research,
forensics and chemical analysis.
The Agilent 7250 GC/G-TOF system combines gas chromatography and
quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with a Low Energy
Electron Ionization source that enables greater exploration of
unknown chemical samples. The Agilent 7250 GC/Q-TOF system is being
showcased at the ASMS conference being held June 3 through June 8
in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The new system represents the only commercially available
combination of a high-resolution, accurate-mass GC/MS and
low-energy ionization source, making it possible for scientists to
employ analytical techniques that were not previously practical, or
in some cases even possible.
The capabilities of the 7250 GC/Q-TOF system will now allow labs
to quickly and easily identify volatile and semi-volatile compounds
that, in the past, would require them to perform alternative
techniques, or longer sample preparations to detect and determine
the compounds present in their samples. Furthermore, with Low
Energy Electron Ionization, scientists will be better able to
elucidate chemical structures.
“The 7250 allows users to implement a range of GC/MS experiments
that are difficult to execute accurately with other GC/MS
technologies,” said Monty Benefiel, vice president and general
manager of Agilent’s Mass Spectrometry Division. “It is an
excellent fit for labs that need a combination of fast scanning,
high resolution and accurate mass information from a single
analysis—a combination where Q-TOF mass spectrometry excels.”
Agilent offers a range of GC/MS technologies for both
qualitative and quantitative analysis across a wide variety of
applications.
