Ultra Fast Analysis of Combination Cold Remedy Using LCMS-2020

Introduction

Now that ultra fast LC can provide analyses with peak widths in fractions of a second, it is necessary to have detectors that can keep pace with the sharp peaks generated by this technique. The LCMS-2020 is a mass spectrometer with "UFswitching" that allows high speed positive / negative ionization mode switching (15 msec positive / negative ionization switching), and "UFscanning" that allows high-speed scan measurement (max. 15,000 u/sec scan speed) to fully support the progression to LC ultra fast analysis. Here we present an example of ultra fast analysis of a combination pharmaceutical cold remedy using the Prominence UFLCXR ultra fast, high-resolution LC system and the LCMS-2020.
