The LCMS 8030 instrument features innovative highlights such as an ultrafast pulse counting system, a high speed UF sweeperTM collision cell and a novel RF power supply achieving complete stability within microseconds. These innovations enable this tandem quadrupole mass analyzer to provide the fastest measurements possible, including a scan speed of up to 15,000 u/sec without compromising resolution, sensitivity or mass range. It supports a 15 ms polarity switching time and gives reproducible MRM results with just one millisecond of dwell time, resulting in up to 500 MRM measurements per second.
With the current trend towards higher pressure HPLC and faster operating speeds for greater throughput, the LCMS-8030 is the ideal detector for keeping up with ever-faster chromatographic peaks. Very narrow widths of UHPLC peaks are now easily tamed by the LCMS-8030.

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
