This document introduces Varian 320-MS, a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with a unique 180° off-axis collision cell and triple quadrupole configuration. This instrument can eliminate chemical background noise and cross-talk when similar product ions in complex matrices are monitored in the same time segment.
The Agilent 320-MS features a unique 180° off-axis collision cell and triple quadrupole configuration designed to eliminate chemical background noise and cross-talk observed in similar instruments when monitoring complex matrices. This design allows for increased sensitivity and robustness in analyzing samples with interfering peaks.
The instrument is ideal for high-throughput screening and confirmation in environmental and food safety analysis. Key benefits include greater confidence in results due to the elimination of false positive peaks, confirmatory power with fast MRM transitions, and lower cost per sample.
The instrument features a unique 180° off-axis collision configuration.
The analysis of four acidic herbicides was performed using an onion matrix.
The chromatograms were generated from a sample with a 5 ppb level.
