EKG Labs is now the proud owner of an Agilent Triple Quadrupole GC/MS. This instrument is a cutting-edge tool for identifying, characterizing, and quantifying volatile and semi-volatile compounds even in challenging matrices. While EKG already has multiple GC systems, this new instrument provides expanded analytical capabilities.
Though primarily intended for our comprehensive extractables and leachables (E&L) studies, this new instrumentation will also support programs such as impurity identifications, characterization of degradation products in stability studies, reference standard characterization, residual solvent analysis, nitrosamine testing, and other customized analytical services.
Agilent 7000 series GC with a 8890 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer
- Additional chromatographic resolution
- Higher peak capacity for challenging separations
- Lower detection limits (Agilent advertises down to the sub-fentogram level for certain targeted analyses)
- Higher retention time precision
- Extensive mass range of m/z 10 – 1050
- Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) for targeted screening and quantitation
