Application Spectroscopy
The Agilent InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ system provides essential mass detection to quickly confirm compounds and provide more specificity and selectivity than a UV detector, even for compounds that are chromatographically unresolved. Whether in the pharmaceutical, academic, chemical or food industries, this single quadrupole mass spectrometer adds credibility, not complexity, to your analyses.
Adaptable Ionization with Efficient ThroughputThe InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ seamlessly switches between Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI), offering versatile sample compatibility. High-throughput capability enables rapid processing of large sample volumes, increasing lab productivity. Its superior mass accuracy (0.2 Da) and fast data acquisition ensure precise analyses across pharmaceutical, environmental, and food lab workflows.
Intelligent Automation and User-Friendly OperationFeaturing walk-up automation, this mass spectrometer simplifies daily operations. Integrated with smart self-diagnosis and automated calibration systems, maintenance and troubleshooting become effortless. The graphical touchscreen interface partnered with easy-to-use software, including remote diagnostics, enhances user confidence and minimizes training time for both experienced and novice personnel.
Quality Build and Reliable PerformanceHoused in an advanced corrosion-resistant stainless steel chassis and certified for CE, UL, and RoHS compliance, the InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ is engineered for longevity. Its quiet operation (<58 dB) suits confined laboratory spaces, while operating stability is maintained from ambient to 40C and 20-80% non-condensing humidity. LAN and USB connectivity ensures streamlined data management.
FAQ's of Agilent Technologies InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ LC Mass Spectrometer:
Q: How do I switch between ESI and APCI ionization modes on the InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ?
A: Switching between Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) is straightforward due to the instrument's interchangeable source design. Access the ion source bay, swap the desired ionization module, and the software auto-detects the installed source, adapting settings accordingly.
Q: What types of laboratory applications is the InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ best suited for?
A: This mass spectrometer is ideal for pharmaceutical analysis, food safety testing, environmental monitoring, and general research where high sensitivity and reliable quantitation are required in routine, high-throughput settings.
Q: When is the system ready for sample analysis after powering on?
A: The instrument boasts a swift startup time and is ready to use in less than 15 minutes from power on, facilitating quick job turnaround and minimal workflow delays.
Q: Where can I install the InfinityLab LC/MSD iQ in my lab?
A: Given its compact dimensions (60 x 62 x 48 cm) and quiet operation (<58 dB), the system can be conveniently placed on standard lab benches. Just ensure an environment with ambient temperature up to 40C, non-condensing humidity of 20-80%, and proximity to mains power (100-240 V AC) and networking (LAN, USB).
Q: What is the process for automated calibration and maintenance?
A: The system features intelligent, automated calibration routines triggered via the touchscreen or remotely through the software. Routine self-diagnosis keeps the instrument performing optimally, while the design supports rapid user-accessible maintenance procedures.
