Shimadzu Adds 8045 Instrument to Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer Lineup
Shimadzu has announced the release of its LCMS-8045 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for laboratories that perform demanding routine quantitative analyses in such areas as food safety and environmental testing. This gives labs an optimum balance of sensitivity, robustness, and cost-effectiveness.
The triple quadrupole LCMS-8045 is the workhorse instrument in the Shimadzu LC-MS/MS lineup, designed to be analyzing samples around the clock. The heated ESI probe, high-temperature heating block, heated desolvation line, drying gas, and focusing optics all act to maximize sensitivity while minimizing contamination. This means continuous operation in the laboratory with reliable data collection, even for complex matrices like biological fluids or foods.
