Agilent Technologies have introduced a new high-resolution, accurate-mass system designed for laboratories doing food and environmental testing, life science research, forensics and chemical analysis. The Agilent 7250 GC/Q-TOF system combines gas chromatography and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with a low energy electron ionisation source that enables greater exploration of unknown chemical samples. The 7250 GC/Q-TOF system will allow labs to quickly and easily identify volatile and semi-volatile compounds that, in the past, would require them to perform alternative techniques, or longer sample preparations to detect and determine the compounds present in their samples. Furthermore, with low energy electron ionisation, scientists will be better able to elucidate chemical structures.
