Mass spectrometry company Shimadzu has announced the launch of the quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) LCMS-9030 system.

The Shimadzu LCMS-9030 is a research-grade mass spectrometer designed to deliver high-resolution, accurate-mass detection with fast data acquisition rates, allowing scientists to identify and quantify more compounds with confidence. It utilises the same engineering DNA as the company’s rugged, high-performance triple quadrupole (LC-MS/MS) platform and integrates that with powerful TOF architecture to transform high mass accuracy workflows by achieving high-sensitivity, high-speed, high-resolution detection.

Ultrafast (UF) acquisition rates and core ion beam technologies developed for the triple quadrupole platform have delivered high sensitivity, specific quantitation and enhanced target compound verification. The LCMS-9030 Q-TOF builds on this platform by rethinking time-of-flight detection. Core ion beam technologies enable a special approach to ion gating using UFaccumulation to create a precise pulse of ions into the flight tube optimised for high sensitivity and high resolution using iRefTOF reflectron technology. The iRefTOF generates a reflectron field, delivering high resolution for the flight path with stable mass accuracy.

The Q-TOF technology on the LCMS-9030 is designed to make an impact across all applications — from small molecule quantitation to complex intact protein analysis.
