Short Description
Series 6560 LC-IMS-QTOFMS. Agilent Technologies.
This is a new generation ion mobility-mass spectrometry system. In addition to the more conventional TOF and QTOF systems, this instrument introduces an additional analytical dimension, i.e. the drift time or collisional cross-section of a compound, which is highly beneficial for the identification of unknown compounds as well as for addressing challenging separations of isomers.
This system offers a mass accuracy of 1 ppm with a spectral resolution of up to 40 000 and is equipped with a robotic sample preparation device enabling on-line sample preparation steps such as derivatization, clean-up or pre-concentration via solid phase extraction.

Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
One system. Three dimensions.
This system offers the advantage of three dimensions of separation in a single measurement. It combines the power of high-performance liquid chromatography, new ion mobility technology, and a high-resolution accurate mass system. It is well suited for resolving structural isomers, increasing peak capacity, finding and confirming minor components and preserving protein conformations.
