Agilent product profile
The Agilent 6550 iFunnel Q-TOF LC/MS System incorporates the revolutionary Agilent iFunnel technology delivering the lowest detection levels of any high resolution LC/MS instrument. For the first time ever, you can be confident in achieving low femtogram-level sensitivity with high resolution and accurate mass - making it the ideal choice for pharmaceutical, metabolite ID, discovery proteomics, metabolomics, food safety, forensics, toxicology, and environmental screening applications.
iFunnel increases ion transfer to achieve the lowest detection levels of any high resolution LC/MS instrument, achieving low femtogram-level sensitivity
Ion Beam Compression and Shaping (IBCS) technology provides the greatest sensitivity while maintaining 40k mass resolution, sub ppm mass accuracy, and a faster scan rate up to 50 spectra per second.
Agilent Jet Stream technology combined with improved ion optics provide 5x greater on-column sensitivity and increase up time to maintain the highest sensitivity for high throughput applications.
In-spectrum dynamic range of up to 5 orders of magnitude reveals trace-level targets, even in the presence of much more abundant compounds
MassHunter Workstation software takes advantage of accurate mass MS and MS/MS and high definition isotopic data to facilitate profiling, characterization, identification and quantification of compounds in complex mixtures.

Characterizing Plant Polysaccharides Using Size-Exclusion Chromatography
April 4th 2025With green chemistry becoming more standardized, Leena Pitkänen of Aalto University analyzed how useful size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) could be in characterizing plant polysaccharides.
Investigating the Protective Effects of Frankincense Oil on Wound Healing with GC–MS
April 2nd 2025Frankincense essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and therapeutic properties. A recent study investigated the protective effects of the oil in an excision wound model in rats, focusing on oxidative stress reduction, inflammatory cytokine modulation, and caspase-3 regulation; chemical composition of the oil was analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
