Compact mass detector simplifies LC-MS analysis 

Agilent Technologies has introduced the InfinityLab Pro iQ Series, a next-generation line of compact mass detectors that brings powerful LC-mass detection capabilities to a wider range of laboratories. Designed for both performance and usability, the Pro iQ Series enables immediate mass confirmation for large and small molecules, making it ideal for compound identification, impurity monitoring, stability testing, and mass-based purification.

With a small footprint and seamless integration into Agilent InfinityLab LC systems and OpenLab CDS software, the Pro iQ Series allows labs to advance their workflows without added complexity. The system is engineered to deliver high sensitivity and robust performance, helping scientists obtain confident results across diverse analytical and purification needs.

A key innovation in the InfinityLab Pro iQ is its advanced ion transmission system, which includes Agilent’s Cyclone Ion Guide and a hyperbolic quadrupole. This technology ensures high mass transmission efficiency, rapid scanning, and exceptional peak shape and stability across a broad mass range. These capabilities help ensure that even low-abundance analytes are reliably detected.

The Pro iQ also introduces new levels of usability through built-in instrument intelligence. The InfinityLab Assist touchscreen provides an interactive, real-time view of instrument readiness and performance status. With on-board diagnostics and system monitoring, the instrument supports users in maintaining smooth operation and reducing downtime.

In combination with Agilent OpenLab CDS software, the InfinityLab Pro iQ Series offers a fully integrated LC-MS workflow. The software manages data acquisition, processing, and reporting while supporting data integrity and regulatory compliance. This integration enables laboratories to carry out mass confirmation, impurity detection, and mass-based purification with greater confidence and efficiency.
