Benefiel noted that Agilent's extensive single quad GC/MS installed customer base, who want to run samples on their triple quad, can open existing single quad GC/MS methods with a single mouse click using Agilent MassHunter software. "Nobody else makes it that easy to distribute your total workload among all of your available Agilent GC/MS systems, adding greater capacity to their laboratory," he says. "This capability also streamlines the transition from SIM on the single quad to MS/MS on the triple quad."

The 7010B includes Agilent's exclusive high-efficiency ion source, which enhances the instrument's sensitivity by a factor of 10. Both models are also available with Agilent's patented JetClean self-cleaning ion source. Using a carefully controlled hydrogen flow, the JetClean source readily removes matrix deposits, which can build up over time and compromise instrument performance.

Agilent's fourth-generation Pesticides and Environmental Pollutants Analyzer based on the 7010B provides laboratories with a turnkey solution for detecting, identifying and quantifying pesticides in food and environmental matrices. It also takes advantage of new dMRM capability in MassHunter Acquisition and a new pesticide database that includes matrix optimized transitions to confidently detect contaminants in food and water samples.

"Together, these technologies from Agilent will enable laboratories to more easily and accurately monitor food and water, resulting in greater public safety," Benefiel says.
