6546 LC QTOF high resolution LCMS w wide dynamic range (2024)

6546 LC QTOF high resolution LCMS w wide dynamic range (1)

6546 LC/Q-TOF and1290 InfinityII HPLC

The 6546 high resolution mass spectrometer accelerates your lab’s capabilities by enabling comprehensive workflows in metabolomics research, food safety, food authenticity, and environmental screening. With simultaneous high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, high resolution, isotope fidelity, and accurate mass measurements, the resulting high data quality provides the level of confidence you need for fast and simplified data review processes.

With Q-RAI (Quadrupole Resolved All Ions) or All Ions acquisition, food safety screening can now be combined with fragment information for identification, allowing you to conduct target and suspect screening simultaneously. In addition, for metabolomics research, the resolution increase together with broad dynamic range and isotopic fidelity makes the 6546 LC/Q-TOF the ideal platform.

Product Details

Features

  • Gain confidence at the low and high concentrations with simultaneous delivery of five orders of in-spectrum dynamic range and mass resolution over 60k (for high masses) and over 30k (for low masses)
  • Narrow down identification possibilities through sub-ppm mass accuracy and isotope fidelity within 5%
  • Experience easy maintenance with vent-free access to ion source and inlet
  • Move beyond analytical targeted screening restriction on number of compounds and time-consuming method maintenance with accurate mass spectral libraries for pesticides, veterinary drugs, mycotoxins, extractables and leachables, and water contaminants
  • Access metabolomics workflows for profiling, lipidomics, and qualitative flux analysis
  • Use the new food authenticity workflow to streamline analysis when testing for product origin or adulteration

Customer Testimonials

Nicola Zamboni, PhD

ETH Zurich, Switzerland

"The 6546 is a major advancement compared to previous TOFs, mainly because it combines dynamic range with excellent resolution in all conditions (speed, mass range, intensity). In our hands, the 6546 is going to be a great instrument for challenging applications such as 13C metabolic flux analysis, high-throughput mass spectrometry, and metabolite ID."
