Instrumentation
(1) Mass Spectrometers
Shimadzu triple quadrupole LCMS-8045 with UHPLC
The Shimadzu triple quadrupole LCMS-8045 includes a heated ESI probe, high-temperature heating block, heated desolvation line, drying gas, and focusing optics which all act to maximize sensitivity while minimizing contamination. The instrument is capable of providing accurate and stable data over long periods of time. The inclusion of Shimadzu's ultra-high-speed high-voltage power supply enables fast scan speed (30,000 u/s) and polarity switching time (5 ms).
Waters Xevo TQD triple quadrupole Mass Spectrometer with Acuity UPLC
Xevo TQD features T-Wave collision cell technology to provide the very best high-speed MRM and valuable, information-rich acquisition mode known as RADAR. The system incorporates Intellistart Technology, for automated system optimization and status monitoring. Ensuring that the highest quality data for chemical detection.
Waters Acquity UPLC (H鈥恈lass) with QDa quadrupole MS and fluorescence detector
The Waters Acquity UPLC H-Class-QDa System comes with a quaternary solvent manager, an autosampler, a PDA detector, and a single quadrupole QDa mass detector, facilitating the concurrent acquisition of MS (Selected Ion Recording and/or full scan) and PDA data. Ideal for the rapid characterization of synthetic chemical entities (low resolution) and routine quantitative assessments, this system provides a comprehensive solution for analytical needs.
Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer (Q鈥怑xactive HF)
The Thermo Scientific鈩 Q Exactive鈩 HF hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer features an ultra-high-field Orbitrap analyzer and utilizes the same Active Beam Guide technology and Advanced Quadrupole design for very stable system operation and exceptional analytical performance. The Q Exactive HF instrument can be used in a variety of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic applications. The system is very suitable for characterization of small polypeptides and small molecule drugs using Data dependent acquisition as well as targeted quantification using of molecules high resolution parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). The system is also highly suitable for characterization of biologic drugs and peptide mapping as well as covalent drug-protein interactions.
