Ultra–High Reliability

Shimadzu’s innovative technology overcomes common issues such as loss of sensitivity, poor reproducibility, and cross talk. The LCMS-8030 delivers reliability even while performing Ultra Fast MRM transitions and polarity switching.

Robust System Provides Long-term Data Stability

The LCMS-8030 is a workhorse system designed to deliver long-term stability and reliable data. The proven ionization source originally developed on Shimadzu’s single quadrupole mass spectrometer instrument minimizes instrument downtime. Chemically resistant ion optics provide consistent performance between maintenance intervals.

UFsweeper™ Technology

Ufsweeper™ Technology dramatically reduces cross talk, a common problem associated with shorter dwell times. In multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), cross talk leads to poor quantitative results. In the LCMS-8030, Ufsweeper™ technology efficiently accelerates residual ions out of the collision cell. The figure below demonstrates the dramatic reduction of cross talk during Ultra Fast MRM transitions.

Excellent Linearity with Wide Dynamic Range

Ultra Fast analysis coupled with a wider dynamic range has been achieved with an Ultra Fast pulse-counting detector and conversion dynode system. The development of a unique semi-floating high voltage power supply realizes ultra high speed polarity switching (15msec).
