Overview
The Agilent 6460 Triple Quadrupole LCMS combines the separation power of HPLC with the detection power (i.e. sensitivity and selectivity) of a triple quadrupole instrument for targeted analysis of small molecules in complex samples. The Agilent Jet Stream technology uses super-heated nitrogen to improve ion generation and desolvation, which leads to greater signal and reduced noise.
Fast multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) speeds allow for analysis of over 100 overlapping compounds in a given retention time window. Triggered MRM (tMRM) combines fast and sensitive MRM quantitation with the generation of a product ion spectrum for library searching and compound screening and confirmation.
