Speed and Sensitivity Combined in New LC/MS Detection System

PerkinElmer, Inc announced the launch of the Flexar TM SQ 300 MS platform at the 58th American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Conference.

Part of PerkinElmer’s high performance and reliable Flexar LC portfolio, the mass detection system provides a rugged ion source design and wide molecular weight detection range for HPLC and UHPLC applications.

Suitable for use in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, the Flexar SQ 300 MS platform enables efficient and reliable ionization of compounds in both positive and negative modes for the efficient analysis of a broad range of analytes. For food and environmental testing applications, a patented multi-stage ion path allows for multi-residue analysis with high limits of detection sensitivity. Moreover, advanced Collision Induced
Dissociation (CID) technology enables fragmentation for further confirmation of molecular structure.

Flexar SQ 300 MS offers ease of switching between the Ultraspray ESI and Field-free APCI ion sources and fast interchangeability of probes. The probes can be specific to a user, application or sample type, helping to minimise the risk of cross contamination and instrument downtime. Its patented grounded ion source design allows for quick and safe probe installation. The probe position can be easily optimised for different flows and chemical environments to maintain excellent ionisation performance.

Designed for multiple applications, Flexar’s unique, 3-tier performance platform ranges from analytical to UHPLC and features a wide range of pumps, autosamplers and detectors that can be configured and integrated with the system. Control of the Flexar SQ 300 MS detection system is driven by PerkinElmer’s new Chromera® CDS software platform. Chromera’s intuitive interface can be configured for multi-detection capabilities. Providing exceptional functionality, the software helps streamline workflow for efficient sample analysis and data acquisition.
