General Description
Agilent 6100 Series Single Quadrupole LC/MS Systems deliver unmatched analytical performance and proven day-after-day reliability. Available with performance characteristics to match your needs and budget, they offer best-in-class data quality in a space-saving benchtop package. The 6100 Series Single Quadrupole Systems are compatible with electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), simultaneous ESI and APCI, and atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) for the introduction and ionization of liquid samples. Additionally, the 6100 series instruments can be combined with desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and/or direct analysis in real time (DART) ionization sources for the introduction and ionization of compounds desorbed from solids. To maximize your return on investment, the performance capabilities of Agilent 6100 Series LC/MS systems can be easily upgraded to keep pace with your future requirements. The easy-to-use 6100 Series platform gives you the capability to: - Rapidly screen compounds and confirm molecular weights
- Purify target compounds in complex mixtures
- Quantitate target compounds
- Identify impurities Simple, intuitive operation saves time and improves results
- Intuitive Agilent OpenLAB CDS ChemStation Edition software lets you set up and control the LC and MS from a single screen.
- Agilent’s powerful Autotune feature boosts productivity by eliminating the need for manual recalibration.
- Comprehensive automation features allow multi-user, walk-up sample submission and unattended operation
Technical Description
The 6100 series Single Quadrupole LC/MS system is a family of instruments comprised of 3 different models of single quadrupole mass spectrometers. These instruments have a variety of performance characteristics from the budget friendly 6120 to the 6150 with its unsurpassed data quality for UHPLC and high-throughput screening, enabled by scan speeds up to 10,000 Dalton/s and the Agilent Jet Stream ion source technology for enhanced sensitivity. All of these instruments are capable of detecting multiple different analytes from the same sample in one injection.
