Application Spectroscopy
Ultivo is a compact, stackable triple quadrupole LC/MS/MS that eliminates the MS footprint by incorporating the mass spectrometer into the HPLC stack. Representing a transformative approach to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, Ultivo provides the fit-for-purpose, straightforward, and rugged LC/MS analysis you expect from larger comparable systems, but at a fraction of their size.
Optimal Sensitivity and SpeedThe Agilent Ultivo Triple Quadrupole LC/MS stands out with a sensitivity of <0.1 pg reserpine (S/N > 10,000:1) and a maximum scan speed of 15,000 u/sec. Its rapid polarity switching (15 ms) and MRM speed (up to 500 per second) streamline complex analyses and boost laboratory throughput.
Space-Saving and Easy MaintenanceUltivo's compact footprint (54 x 44 x 50 cm) makes it a practical choice for laboratories with limited bench space. Its active exhaust system and robust, user-friendly design ensure easy maintenance, reducing instrument downtime and maintaining high productivity.
Seamless Integration and Advanced ControlThe system is fully compatible with HPLC and UHPLC platforms, and the Agilent MassHunter software suite provides an intuitive touchscreen interface for streamlined operation, data acquisition, and comprehensive analysis, supporting automatic, software-driven workflows for consistent, high-quality results.
