What it is
How it works
The QSight 420 LC/MS/MS system uses a quadrupole mass analyzer. The instrument uses dual independent probes with electrospray ionization and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization. The instrument operates in positive and negative ionization modes.[2]
The QSight 420 LC/MS/MS system supports full scan, multiple reaction mode, selected ion monitoring, product ion scan, and neutral gain or loss scan acquisition modes.[2]
Where it fits in the process flow
The QSight 420 LC/MS/MS system includes a QSight LX-50 Binary Pump, a QSight LX-50 Autosampler, a QSight LX-50 Oven, and a Flexar PDA Plus Detector.[2]
Applications
The QSight 420 LC/MS/MS system is used for trace-level quantification of target compounds. The instrument is applied in agriculture and food analysis, environmental analysis, forensic and toxicology analysis, industrial analysis, and pharmaceutical analysis.[2]
The instrument supports an MRM library of more than eight hundred compounds. The library includes pesticides and environmental contaminants including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances such as PFOA and PFOS.[2]
