Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer LCMS-8040 C146-E188E

Ultra-High Sensitivity By incorporating newly improved ion optics and collision cell technology, the LCMS-8040 provides higher multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) sensitivity. A five-fold increase in sensitivity (reserpine, S/N ratio), as compared with that of LCMS-8030 has been achieved by improving ion focusing and minimizing ion losses between multi-pole lenses. These improvements also yield higher sensitivity for scan mode measurements. This higher sensitivity expands the potential range of LC/MS/MS applications. Ultra-High Speed The LCMS-8040 was designed to provide significantly higher sensitivity while maintaining the high speed offered by the LCMS-8030. Ultrafast MRM transition speeds, up to 555 MRMs per second, are achieved by Shimadzu s UFsweeper collision cell technology, proprietary high-precision quadrupole machining capabilities, and unique high voltage power supply technology. In addition, the LCMS-8040 features the fast polarity switching at 15 msec. With this high-speed performance, the LCMS-8040 can dramatically improve analytical throughput. Ultra-High Reliability MRM optimization in Shimadzu s LCMS systems is based on a rapid series of automated flow injection analyses, requiring only minutes to perform. Multiple compounds can be optimized in an unattended sequence, freeing the analyst from tedious work. MRM parameters optimized for the LCMS-8030 can be transferred to the LCMS-8040, making it possible to transfer methods between systems. The LCMS-8040 offers the same ease of maintenance benefits as the LCMS-8030, and all consumables, such as desolvation lines (DL) and ESI capillaries, are interchangeable as well.

Ultra-High Sensitivity with UFMS Technology Higher Sensitivity with Improved Ion Optics UF-Lens TM The UF-Lens is a lens system that offers both higher sensitivity and easier maintenance. The optical system integrates two multi-pole RF ion guides for higher sensitivity. In addition, the lens system can be removed without tools for easy cleaning.

Previous Configuration UF-Lens LCMS-8030 LCMS-8040 A comparison of auto-tune Q1 scan results for a standard sample (a mixture of PEG, PPG, and raffinose) obtained from the LCMS-8030 and LCMS-8040 is shown to the right. Target ions used for ESI+ auto-tuning are plotted (m/z 65.05, 168.10, 256.15, 344.20, 652.40, 1004.60, and 1224.75). A significant sensitivity increase across a broad molecular weight range for precursor ion transmission is demonstrated.

Higher CID Efficiency with Improved Collision Cell UFsweeper TM The UFsweeper II is a high-sensitivity, high-speed collision cell that features improved ion focusing by using high-speed ion transport technology. This yields better product ion transmission in the collision cell, maintaining signal intensity and suppressing crosstalk, even for high-speed or simultaneous multi-component analysis. The capability for high-throughput analysis is thus maintained at lower levels of detection.

The figures below show simultaneous analysis of 167 pesticides in MRM positive/negative ion analysis mode. Even though positive and negative ions were LCMS-8030 0 ( 10,000,000) measured simultaneously, both the LCMS-8030 and LCMS-8040 accurately identified all 167 components. In addition, the LCMS-8040 showed improved sensitivity an average of three times higher for all components.

Proven Ultra-High Performance now with Enhanced Sensitivity Higher Sensitivity for Q1 Full Scan Spectra The LCMS-8040 maintains the same high-speed scanning (UFscanning) and polarity switching technology (UFswitching) utilized in the LCMS-8030. The LCMS-8040 not only maintains Shimadzu's proprietary high-speed technologies (UF Technologies, USP7855355, USP8188426), which minimize sensitivity losses even at faster scan speeds, it also features improved ion optics, which provide higher sensitivity for MRMs and full scans. A comparison of Q1 full scan spectra for pesticide samples (Methomyl, Carbaryl(NAC), Phoxim, Benfuracarb, and Abamectin B1a) is shown below. The upper spectra were acquired using the LCMS-8040 and the lower spectra were acquired using the LCMS-8030. As shown, the LCMS-8040 offers significant sensitivity improvements for precursor ions or full scan data.

In LCMS analysis, it is necessary to adjust interface conditions such as temperatures and gas flow rates for optimal desolvation. Spray needle adjustment and probe position are also factors to be evaluated. In both the LCMS-8030 and LCMS-8040, temperatures and flows are easily controlled through the software. ESI probe position is set by a single easily accessible knob, and spray needle protrusion is adjusted without the need for any special tools or disassembly of the probe. In addition, this capillary incorporates a tapered design, which reduces sample clogging.

Higher Sensitivity for MS/MS Acquisition Modes The increased scan sensitivity of the LCMS-8040 also applies to scan modes specific to triple quadrupole mass spectrometers, such as product ion scanning, precursor ion scanning, and neutral loss scanning. Historically, mass spectrometers have introduced mass deviation in linked scans, such as precursor ion scans or neutral loss scans, when measured at maximum scan speeds. 5.0 2.5 Inten.( 10 7 ) 0 Inten.( 10 5 ) 0.0 240.0 2727 u/sec Precursor ion of m/z 149 251.25 250.0 m/z Inten.( 10 5 ) 7.5 251.25 5.0 2.5 0.0 240.0 250.0 m/z Inten.( 10 7 ) 6000 u/sec Dipropyl phthalate 8040 CH 3 CH 3 m/z 149 8030 0 3.0 4.0 5.0 min 3.0 4.0 5.0 min Precursor Ion Scan of Standard Mixture Sample of 8 Phthalate Esters Mass error associated with a rise in scan speed Increase in Scan Speed 300.0 30 30 298.0 299.0 300.0 30 30 303.0 m/z Typical triple quadrupole mass spectrometer However, Shimadzu's proprietary UFscanning technology allows performing precursor ion scans or neutral loss scans at high speeds without loss of mass accuracy. In addition, the LCMS-8040 offers higher sensitivity levels. Precursor scan results for eight kinds of phthalate esters are shown to the left. Scans were performed at two speeds, 2727 u/sec and 6000 u/sec. No mass shift is observed at either scan speed, and a significant sensitivity improvement is observed for the LCMS-8040. Easy Method Transfer MRM parameters for the LCMS-8030 can be used in LCMS-8040 systems. Optimization of MRM parameters is an early step in LCMS method development. Shimadzu has streamlined the MRM optimization process with a rapid and simplified approach based on automated flow injection analysis. Several method packages, which contain chromatographic and optimized MRM conditions for a variety of analytes, including residual pesticides, veterinary drugs, and forensic drugs of abuse, have also been released. Laboratories employing LCMS-8030 MRM conditions will be able to transfer these MRMs directly to the LCMS-8040. To demonstrate this, a method for the simultaneous analysis of 167 pesticides was transferred without modification from the LCMS-8030 to the LCMS-8040. Increased sensitivity was obtained for all compounds; three example chromatograms are shown below. 10 ppb: Cloquintocet-mexyl(9.5X) 10 ppb: Pyrazosulfuron-ethyl(7.4X) 10 ppb: Linuron(5.2X) ( 100,000) ( 100) ( 1,000) 0 ESI+ 336.20 >238.00 1.25 ESI+ 415.20 >182.10 ESI 246.90 >160.00 1.25 8040 0 0 0.75 0.75 0 8040 0 0 8040 0 0 0.25 0.25 8030 8030 8030 0.00 0.00 0.00 18.0 19.0 min 5.5 6.0 6.5 7.0 min 14.0 14.5 15.0 min Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer 7

a-high Reliability to Withstand Wide Range of Complex Matrices Exceptional Durability Blood plasma samples were spiked with verapamil and warfarin, and then deproteinized according to the pretreatment process indicated below. The area values from 450 consecutive LCMS-8040 analyses were then plotted. Simultaneous analysis of verapamil by ESI+ and warfarin by ESI was performed. Chromatograms for the 1st, 250th, and 450th measurements are shown below. This resulted in 1 pg on-column area repeatability of 4.18 % for verapamil and 6.61 % for warfarin.
