The list of “emerging contaminant†pharmaceuticals in water supplies is growing. Many are metabolites with unknown structures, and don’t yet exist on regulated target lists. Agilent’s Accurate-Mass QTOF mass spectrometer is a powerful tool for positively identifying unknown compounds and elucidating their structure.
• In full-scan mode, accurate mass data lets you determine empirical chemical formulas for identification purposes. The instrument’s superior spectral resolution enables selective identification among co-eluting compounds, and the combination of ultra-fast Rapid Resolution LC and an extremely fast scanning rate minimizes run times.
• Agilent’s Molecular Feature Extractor software automatically removes background noise, resolves interferences, and streamlines database searching and identification. Mass Profiler software simplifies comparison among multiple samples.
• MS/MS allows further structural determination of compounds of interest.
With over 40 years of environmental analysis experience and proven regulatory expertise, Agilent is helping environmental labs positively confirm and accurately measure low-level contaminants in water supplies. The company’s integrated GC/MSD and LC/MS workflow solutions deliver sensitivity you can use to lower your limits of detection in complex matrices, and increase your lab’s ability to keep up with increasing sample loads and challenging new methods.
