Systems Improve Ability to Monitor Food and
Water Quality
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today enhanced its line of
scientific instruments with two new models of the company’s 7000
Series Triple Quadrupole Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
systems.
Agilent is showcasing the new quadrupole GC/MS/MS
instruments—along with a new analyzer for pesticides and
environmental pollutants—at the North American Chemical Residue
Workshop, a four-day gathering for scientists interested in
developing better analytical methods, which starts today in St.
Pete Beach, Florida.
“Increasingly, laboratories that test the safety of our food and
water are turning to triple quadrupole GC/MS systems because their
selectivity makes them better able to handle complex matrices than
standard single quadrupole systems,” said Monty Benefiel, vice
president and general manager of Agilent’s Mass Spectrometry
Division. “Both of our new instruments—the 7000D and 7010B—include
enhancements that not only improve analytical performance but make
them easier to use than any previous triple quad GC/MS system.”
Benefiel noted that Agilent’s extensive single quad GC/MS
installed customer base, who want to run samples on their triple
quad, can open existing single quad GC/MS methods with a single
mouse click using Agilent MassHunter software. “Nobody else makes
it that easy to distribute your total workload among all of your
available Agilent GC/MS systems, adding greater capacity to their
laboratory,” he said. “This capability also streamlines the
transition from SIM on the single quad to MS/MS on the triple
quad.”
The 7010B includes Agilent’s exclusive high-efficiency ion
source, which enhances the instrument’s sensitivity by a factor of
10. Both models are also available with Agilent’s patented JetClean
self-cleaning ion source. Using a carefully controlled hydrogen
flow, the JetClean source readily removes matrix deposits, which
can build up over time and compromise instrument performance.
Agilent’s fourth-generation Pesticides and Environmental
Pollutants Analyzer based on the 7010B provides laboratories with a
turnkey solution for detecting, identifying and quantifying
pesticides in food and environmental matrices. It also takes
advantage of new dMRM capability in MassHunter Acquisition and a
new pesticide database that includes matrix optimized transitions
to confidently detect contaminants in food and water samples.
“Together, these technologies from Agilent will enable
laboratories to more easily and accurately monitor food and water,
resulting in greater public safety,” Benefiel said.
