- DUIS: The dual ion source continuously performs both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI).
- Synchronized Survey Scan: Synchronized Survey Scan (SSS) automatically performs a product ion scanning whenever a pre-set survey scan threshold is exceeded.
- UFsweeper: UFsweeper is a unique technology that delivers unparalleled efficiency and speed. UFsweeper accelerates ions out of the collision cell by forming a pseudo-potential surface.

Shimadzu has released the LC/MS/MS MRM Library for Triglycerides.
This MRM library targets fatty acids with carbon chain lengths of C14 to C22 and 0 to 6 unsaturation sites to profile the triglycerides (TG) in plasma. The library provides 195 MRM transitions, which enable 47 different triglycerides to be monitored. The MRMs were evaluated in human plasma in order to provide researchers a tool for qualitative profiling of fatty acid composition.
