Shimadzu‘s LCMS-TQ RX Series expands the capability and productivity of triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with performance that can be relied upon. The RX Series has been designed to generate a highly focused ion beam from the ion source to detector bringing together advanced ion guide and collision cell technologies. The result is higher data quality that makes an impact on any LC-MS/MS assay
LCMS-TQ RX Series Overview
- Improving data reliability with high stability and measurement sensitivity
In mass spectrometers that ionize samples by spraying them, the uniformity of the spray affects the stability of measurements. The LCMS-TQ RX Series uses a newly developed CoreSpray nozzle in the ion source to make the spray uniform, thus improving the stability of analytical data. In addition, IonFocus* utilizes fluid analysis and electric field analysis technology to efficiently introduce ions into the MS, removing contaminant components and achieving a higher measurement sensitivity. - Streamlines lab operations through automatic calibration
The PERFORMANCE CONCIERGE function automatically checks the device status (e.g. mass accuracy, spectral intensity) before measurement begins and fine-tunes the device as needed. Optimal performance is thereby assured and downtime reduced. - Optimizes power consumption to reduce energy use and cost
In ecology mode, the instrument monitors its status and automatically shuts down when the device is not in use. Conventionally, the inside of the instrument continues to be heated even after measurements are finished. By minimizing this, power consumption is reduced by approximately 31 %.
* This proprietary Shimadzu ion source provides high sensitivity and durability by eliminating contaminant components. It does so through the efficient intake of ions to the mass spectrometer, utilizing the techniques of fluid and electric field analysis. Conventionally, only the LCMS-8060NX was equipped with this.
