Increased capabilities for food testing, environmental
screening, and metabolomics research with new systems and software
workflows
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced a range of
new products designed to deliver improved analytical and business
outcomes for laboratories involved in a variety of analytical
pursuits, including food testing, environmental screening, and
metabolomics research.
The centerpiece of the announcement—the new Agilent 6546
quadrupole time-of-flight LC/MS system—gives analysts the ability
to acquire high-resolution data across an unprecedented dynamic
range. This innovative instrument includes the Q-RAI
(Quadrupole-Resolved All Ions), a data-independent acquisition mode
which reduces the complexity of MS/MS spectra while maximizing the
accuracy and quality of the data acquired.
“The Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF is a major advancement compared to
previous time-of-flight systems because it combines dynamic range
with excellent resolution in all conditions (speed, mass range,
intensity),” said Nicola Zamboni, head of the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology in Zurich. “In our lab, the 6546 will be a
great instrument for challenging applications such as 13C metabolic
flux analysis, high-throughput mass spectrometry, and metabolite
identification.”
MassHunter software complementing the Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF
includes:
- MassHunter Quantitative Analysis 10.0
software with new features that allow labs to more quickly and
accurately screen complex sample sets for both target and suspect
compounds in a single workflow—ideal for food safety, and
environmental analysis.
- New MassHunter Classifier software
which complements the enhanced method development workflow in the
Mass Profiler Professional (MPP) software, enabling faster testing
for food authenticity with results that are easier to review.
- MassHunter Lipid Annotator that
presents theoretical lipid MS/MS annotations for Q-TOF results with
support through the MassHunter Mass Profiler Professional
Lipidomics workflow.
Agilent also announced the new Agilent Bravo Metabolomics Sample
Prep Platform—the perfect partner for the Agilent 6546
LC/Q-TOF—which provides consistent and accurate preparation of
human plasma samples for metabolomics analysis via LC/MS.
“Together, these new products will enable laboratories to spend
less time getting the answers they need—and increase the confidence
they have in their results,” said Monty Benefiel, Agilent vice
president, and general manager of the company’s Mass Spectrometry
Division.
