You can set up an Agilent 6400 Series
several configurations:
• For normal flow LC/MS with a binary pump, quaternary pump,
well-plate sampler (or autosampler or CTC PAL autosampler).
The supported ion sources are ESI, APCI, APPI, and MMI.
• For microflow LC/MS with a capillary pump, micro well-plate
sampler (or CTC PAL micro-plate autosampler) and ESI, APCI or
MMI ion sources
• For nanoflow LC/MS with a nanoflow pump, capillary pump,
micro well-plate sampler and HPLC-Chip/MS interface (used
in place of a standard nanospray source) to increase
reliability and boost performance with narrow peak
dispersion and lower dead volumes.
Each Agilent combination has advantages for different
applications. Each uses the same Data Acquisition program,
Quantitative Analysis program and Qualitative Analysis
program to enable these advantages.
The Agilent 6460 and 6490 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS systems
are the only Triple Quadrupole that can use the Agilent Jet
Stream Technology. This technology utilizes a super-heated
sheath gas to collimate the nebulizer spray which dramatically
increases the number of ions that enter the mass spectrometer.
The Agilent 6490 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS system also utilizes
the iFunnel Technology which includes the Agilent Jet Stream
Technology, shorter desolvation assembly with Hexabore
Capillary, and the Dual Offset Ion Funnel.
