Key Features: Mass range m/z 30-3000 QED MS/MS, a new technique for simultaneous quantitation and analyte identification. Over 300 H-SRM acquisitions for confidence in multi-component screening H-SRM standard for superior quantitation H-SRM triggered data dependant full scan MS/MS, Neutral loss, and Precursor ion scans, with full Dynamic Exclusion capability FAIMS compatible for ultimate specificity Fast positive/negative switching Robust IonMax-s source with all options

The TSQ Quantum Access is a new triple quadrupole mass spectrometer designed to meet the strict analytical requirements of Environmental and Food Safety laboratories. Based on the proven performance of the TSQ Quantum platform, it sets the benchmark for sensitivity and specificity. Innovative technology advantages such as Highly Selective Reaction monitoring (H-SRM) and high-Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS), previously available only on advanced tandem mass spectrometers, are available features of the Access.

Continuing the tradition of innovation, the TSQ Quantum Access features QED MS/MS that allows for simultaneous quantitative and qualitative analysis. QED MS/MS stands for “Quantification Enhanced by Data Dependant MS/MS’. The specificity provided by H-SRM followed by QED MS/MS provides uncompromised quantitation performance at low levels followed by a fast, highly-specific full MS/MS scan for confirmation.

Challenges in Environmental & Food Safety Applications

Multiple-component Screening

The ability to do more than 300 H-SRM acquisitions as well as triggering data-dependant full scan MS/MS (with dynamic exclusion) gives the multi-component screening experiment an added dimension of specificity. Use of H-SRM triggered product ion scans on the TSQ Quantum Access, minimizes the potential for “false negative” results, especially when analyzing complex samples. Unmatched specificity results in added confidence of analyses.

Searchable Libraries

An built-in searchable library of pesticides and pharmaceuticals is provided to aid confirmation of the presence of target analytes. This feature makes the Access immediately productive in environmental and food safety laboratories.

Faster LC-MS/MS Method Development

The TSQ Quantum Access includes a database of methodologies for the analysis of Pesticides, Azo dyes & banned pharmaceuticals in water and food residues. Coupled to the Accela fast LC system with 1.9um Hypersil Gold column technology, faster LC-MS/MS methods can be developed without compromising chromatographic resolution. The fast switching detection system on the Quantum Access along with the Accela LC system provides an integrated platform for the analysis of unknowns in complex matrices associated with environmental and food safety analysis.
