As consumers become more concerned with health and safety, it is increasingly necessary to accurately separate, detect, and assess ever-smaller trace quantities of impurities contained in items such as pharmaceuticals and environmental pollutants. Shimadzu meets this need with the new compact LCMS-2020. The world’s best quadrupole mass analyzer, the LCMS-2020 offers faster measurements and higher detection sensitivity for quicker and more accurate detection of trace impurities, and when combined with the Prominence ultra-fast LC (UFLC/UFLCXR), achieves the ultimate in separation performance and productivity.

For component identification and characterization studies, turn to the LCMS-IT-TOF mass spectrometer. Delivering information-rich spectra for component identification faster than any other hybrid mass spectrometer, the LCMS-IT-TOF mass spec enables scientists to work with greater confidence in a diverse range of research fields. Powerful features include: high mass accuracy MSn analysis with constant mass resolution; high stability mass calibration, & ultra-fast polarity switching. Software tools take advantage of multiple levels of fragmentation, isotope pattern verification, and unique fragment-ion filtering techniques to accurately determine the correct formula for unknown components.
