Automated LC-MS Solution for Water Analysis The Thermo Scientific EQuan MAX is an automated high throughput LC-MS solution for the analysis of contaminants in water and beverages. With high resolution and accurate mass (HRAM), this system features screening and quantitative capabilities that provide enhanced system flexibility and productivity.
EQuan MAX combines with the power of the Exactive LC-MS system. The Exactive is a high resolution benchtop LC-MS system, powered by Oribtrap technology for high throughput screening of target and non-target compounds. In addition, the system can also be used with the range of Thermo Scientific TSQ series triple stage quadrupole mass spectrometers.
The system provides a comprehensive solution for the analysis of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and perfluorinated compounds in environmental water, drinking water and beverages. With EQuan MAX, samples are directly injected for LC-MS analysis, eliminating the need for off-line sample preconcentration. Its online sample preparation technique reduces analysis time from days to minutes, designed to increase lab productivity.
Large injection volume (1 to 20 mL) improves detection limits over conventional LC-MS analysis. In addition to large injection volumes, the system now supports injection volumes as low as 1 µL. Switching between injection volumes can be automated for overnight operation and increased productivity, without the need to manually change plumbing configurations.
The EQuan MAX autosampler and plumbing provide out-of-the-box compatibility with the Thermo Scientific Accela 600 high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Thermo Scientific Accela 1250 ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (U-HPLC) systems. This enables users to take full advantage of advanced HPLC technology to achieve fast, efficient chromatographic separations over an expansive range of flow rates and pressures. The autosampler is also more compact, reducing total system footprint from approximately 5 to 2.5 sq ft, saving valuable lab space.
The system can be used with Thermo Scientific TraceFinder software, which provides an extensive menu of preconfigured methods and report formats that make screening for routine contaminants simple. A point-and-click interface prompts the user through the steps needed to create methods. The software's ability to perform structural confirmation and library matching enables it to confirm and quantitate hundreds of compounds in a single experiment, increasing sample throughput. To ensure that data is not compromised and that changes are clearly recorded, the software offers data security with a rights-based user log-in system that limits access to methods and data.
