New Ultra-Fast Multianalyte LC-MS System Accelerates Workflow and Improves Analytical Efficiency
Nov 24 2015
Shimadzu has released the new Nexera MX ultra-fast multianalyte LC-MS system. It offers up to double the sample processing capability of the conventional approach. The Nexera MX features two analytical flow lines in a single LC-MS system. This setup maximises operating efficiency by alternating between the two lines for injecting of samples. Capable of rapidly processing large numbers of samples, the Nexera MX will help to improve the workflow of customers.
The processing sequence in LC-MS-based analysis involves sample aspiration and injection, target component elution and detection, analytical column rinsing and equilibration. In this process, the mass spectrometer must wait in standby mode except during data acquisition. Demands have therefore increased for LC-MS systems that offer maximum uptime while minimising the time required for steps other than data acquisition.
The Nexera MX satisfies such needs by combining the superior high-speed analytical performance of Shimadzu LC-MS systems with the SIL-30ACMP autosampler designed with a unique flow line structure and high-speed sample injection capability. This combination dramatically improves analytical efficiency and maintains ease-of-operation.
Each operating button in MX Solution, the dedicated software for the Nexera MX system, is arranged in a visual, easy-to-understand layout. This enables reliable performance of the entire series of analytical operations, from system startup, registering and analysing of samples to shut down. This user-friendly interface ensures that even those with little experience in use of analytical instruments can operate the system intuitively, smoothly, and with minimal human error.
The Nexera MX system also includes LabSolutions Insight software, providing assistance with quantitative analysis of large volumes of data. The software not only helps to extract measurement results quickly for target compounds from the massive amounts of LC-MS data generated, but can also display colour-coded quantitative results automatically in five levels for each concentration range. This allows quick screening of samples for the presence of target compounds, abnormal values or other evaluations.
