LCMS-2020 Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometer (LCMS)

Shimadzu LCMS-2020 Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometer is optimized for Prominence UFLC/UFLCXR Ultra Fast Liquid Chromatography. New technologies offer significantly improved scanning speed and positive-negative ion polarity switching time required for UFLC, while simultaneously increasing sensitivity.

LCMS-2020 combines the excellent compound selectivity characteristic of mass spectrometry with significantly increased overall productivity from method development to analysis. LCMS-2020 plays a useful role in a number of fields, including the synthesis of compounds in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

UFswitching

High-speed polarity switching between positive/negative ion modes

To detect both positive and negative ions, analysis is performed while switching between the positive and negative ionization modes. The LCMS-2020 Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry adopts patented high-voltage power supply technology (Patent: US7855355) to achieve an ultra-fast polarity switching time of just 15 msec.




























 

UFsensitivity

Superior sensitivity, especially for ultra high-speed analysis

Superior sensitivity, repeatability, and linearity are achieved, thanks to the newly developed Qarray® optics.


















 

UFscanning

Fast scanning speeds

In MS (mass spectrometer) scanning, a range of mass to charge ratios are determined in successive 0.1 m/z steps. This is controlled by applying a rapidly changing voltage to the quadrupole (quadrupole rods). By adopting Shimadzu's proprietary scanning technology (Patent: US8188426), high ion transmission is achieved without sacrificing sensitivity or resolution, even during high-speed scans up to 15,000 u/sec. Very narrow UFLC peaks can now be properly detected in scan mode acquisition.
