Core Technologies and Features

iFunnel Technology for Enhanced Ion Transmission

The Agilent iFunnel technology integrates Jet Stream thermal gradient focusing, a hexabore sampling capillary, and a dual-stage ion funnel. This combination enables highly efficient ion generation, transmission, and collection, dramatically boosting sensitivity. The system minimizes ion loss, allowing high-fidelity detection of low-abundance analytes.

• Jet Stream Technology: Enhances ion generation with a superheated gas sheath surrounding the electrospray ionization (ESI) droplets for effective ion desolvation and concentration.
• Hexabore Capillary: Six parallel bores allow greater ion capture while reducing turbulence, maintaining signal stability.
• Dual-Stage Ion Funnel: Facilitates ion transfer to the mass analyzer by efficiently evacuating neutral species and gases, improving sensitivity.

Agilent Ion Beam Compression and Shaping (IBCS)

The 6550 Q-TOF system incorporates IBCS technology, which compresses and cools the ion beam up to 10-fold, enhancing mass resolution and measurement accuracy. This leads to fewer ion losses and precise mass determination.

• Mass Resolution: Achieves a resolution of 45,000 (45k) to ensure clear separation of close mass ions.
• Mass Accuracy: Better than 1 ppm across the mass range, providing reliable results for quantitative and qualitative analyses.
• Acquisition Speed: Capable of acquiring data at 50 spectra/second, allowing ultra-fast UHPLC separations and high-quality MS/MS spectra generation.

Sensitivity and Dynamic Range

Designed for high sensitivity, the Agilent 6550 delivers detection down to the femtogram level. The system’s sensitivity is greatly improved, with a wide dynamic range spanning 5 orders of magnitude (10⁵), enabling accurate quantitation of both high and low-abundance compounds in complex matrices.

Collision Cell and MS/MS Capabilities

The system accelerates ions within the high-energy collision cell, enabling the generation of high-quality MS/MS spectra. This feature is essential for comprehensive compound identification and fragmentation analysis.

Advanced Hardware for Accuracy and Stability

• INVAR Flight Tube: The Q-TOF features a vacuum-insulated INVAR flight tube that prevents thermal drift, ensuring consistent mass accuracy over extended periods.
• 4 GHz Digitizer: Equipped with a high-sampling rate digitizer (32 Gbit/s), improving resolution and mass accuracy for low-abundance samples.
• Dual Gain Amplifiers: Extends the system’s dynamic range, making it ideal for applications requiring both sensitivity and precision.

Applications and Benefits

• Pharmaceuticals: Perform both qualitative and quantitative analysis with high sensitivity for drug discovery, metabolism, and stability studies.
• Proteomics and Metabolomics: Identify and quantify proteins, peptides, and metabolites in complex biological matrices, with sensitivity down to low pg/mL concentrations.
• Food Safety and Environmental Testing: Detect ultra-trace levels of contaminants, pesticides, and pollutants, meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
• Forensic Toxicology: Analyze complex samples with high accuracy and precision, even at low concentrations of toxic substances or drugs.

Software Integration – MassHunter Workstation

The 6550 Q-TOF is controlled by Agilent MassHunter Workstation Software, which simplifies data acquisition, instrument control, and data analysis. It supports advanced data mining, quantitative analysis, and rapid identification of compounds in both targeted and non-targeted workflows.

• MassHunter Personal Compound Database and Library (PCDL): Enhances compound identification accuracy with a customizable database of MS/MS spectra, critical for metabolomics, toxicology, and environmental analysis.
