LCMS-8045 – Analytical excellence for performance
The Shimadzu LCMS-8045 is a new-generation triple quadrupole mass spectrometer designed to deliver exceptional analytical performance in the most demanding fields, including food safety, the environment, pharmacology and life sciences.
Combining cutting-edge sensitivity with remarkable analysis speed, this instrument embodies the technological advances of Shimadzu's UFMS (Ultra-Fast Mass Spectrometry) platform. Thanks to a heated ESI probe and a UFsweeper II collision cell, it achieves unrivalled sensitivity in its class, enabling the reliable detection of minute traces of substances with a signal-to-noise ratio of over 100,000:1. Its ability to switch between positive and negative polarity modes in just five milliseconds, coupled with a scanning speed of 30,000 mass units per second, ensures smooth, fast data acquisition that is perfectly suited to routine analyses and complex protocols.
The robustness of the LCMS-8045 is based on an optimised mechanical design, mass stability of 0.05 units over twelve hours and excellent resistance to contamination, making it ideal for continuous, uninterrupted use. Its control software, LabSolutions LCMS , offers a user-friendly and comprehensive interface that allows automation of calibration, sensitivity optimisation and management of complex sequences of up to 1,000 events per method.
The LCMS-8045 also stands out for its compatibility with the Prominence and Nexera UHPLC systems, enabling optimal coupling for high-throughput analysis without compromising resolution. Its Q-array ion optics system ensures optimal ion focusing, contributing to highly reproducible results.
Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, it incorporates pulse-counting detection electronics, ensuring a wide dynamic range and consistent measurement accuracy. Offering superior performance in a compact format, the LCMS-8045 is the tool of choice for laboratories seeking high-quality instrumentation capable of adapting to a wide range of analytical applications.
