Agilent Technologies has announced that its LC?MS systems, including the 6100 Series single quadrupole and 6400 Series triple quadrupole systems are now manufactured under ISO 13485 certification.
Agilent Technologies has announced that its LC–MS systems, including the 6100 Series single quadrupole and 6400 Series triple quadrupole systems are now manufactured under ISO 13485 certification. This is an internationally recognized standard of quality management for the design and manufacture of medical devices.
“This is just the latest step that Agilent has taken to clear the way for use of our life science tools in the clinic,” said Gustavo Salem, Agilent vice president and general manager, Biological Systems Division. “We’re also in talks with the FDA about requirements for clearing a number of our platforms, and we’re being very methodical and deliberate about this.”
John Fjeldsted, Agilent general manager, LC–MS, noted that this additional validation on top of their own high standards of quality design and manufacturing would add value to their systems and their use in the clinic.

Characterization and Assessment of Effects of Drying Temperature on Edible Mushrooms with HS-GC–MS
September 6th 2024To gain insight into the effect of drying temperature on its composition, headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) was used for the identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of 86 mushroom samples that were divided into five groups and dried at different temperatures.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Real-Time Measurement of EPA Regulated HON Compounds and Environmental Pollutants Using SIFT-MS
September 6th 2024This application note describes the determination of method detection limits (MDLs) for the newly regulated HON (Hazardous Organic NESHAP) compounds, which validate SIFT-MS as an effective solution for measuring these toxic VOCs and other environmental pollutants in ambient air, whether at the fence line or in a mobile setting.
