Detailed Introduction
The Agilent 6520 Accurate-Mass Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (Q-TOF) LC/MS System is a high-resolution mass spectrometry platform designed for accurate mass measurement, compound identification, and advanced structural analysis. It combines a quadrupole mass filter with a high-performance time-of-flight (TOF) analyzer, providing excellent mass accuracy, high resolution, fast acquisition speed, and reliable analytical performance for complex samples.
The Agilent 6520 Q-TOF LC/MS is equipped with Agilent Jet Stream Electrospray Ionization (AJS ESI) technology, which enhances ion transmission efficiency and improves sensitivity for low-abundance compounds. The system supports both positive and negative ion modes and enables comprehensive MS and MS/MS analysis for small molecules, metabolites, peptides, proteins, and other biomolecules.
The quadrupole section allows selective precursor ion isolation, while the TOF analyzer provides accurate mass detection and high-resolution full-spectrum acquisition. This combination enables researchers to identify unknown compounds, determine molecular formulas, characterize metabolites, and perform detailed structural elucidation. The instrument is widely used in pharmaceutical discovery, metabolomics, proteomics, environmental analysis, food safety, and biotechnology research.
Controlled by Agilent MassHunter Workstation Software, the 6520 Q-TOF provides powerful tools for data acquisition, accurate mass analysis, molecular formula generation, database searching, and reporting. Its robust design and flexible configuration make it a valuable platform for laboratories requiring high-resolution LC/MS capabilities.
