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.
