The Agilent TOF is an orthogonal-axis time-of-flight mass spectrometer (oa-TOF). That is, the ions reaching the time-of-flight chamber are impelled in a direction perpendicular to their original
path.
You can set up an Agilent time-of-flight mass spectrometer system
(TOF) in several configurations:
- For normal flow LC/MS with a binary pump, quaternary pump,well-plate sampler (or autosampler) and ESI , APCI, APPI or MMI ion sources.
- For microflow LC/MS with a capillary pump, micro well-platesampler and ESI, APCI or MMI ion source
- For nanoflow LC/MS with a nanopump, micro well-plate sampler and nanospray source or dual nanospray source
- TOF system with an AP-MALDI source
Each Agilent system has advantages for drug discovery — high
throughput sample screening with highly sensitive detection and
accurate mass assignment.
Each system uses the same Agilent TOF software to enable these
advantages, although the AP-MALDI TOF system uses only the TOF
portion of the software.
You can use one or more of the Agilent TOF systems to
customize the following applications:
