Exploring the Different Scan modes of a Triple Quad beyond Just MRMs

• Wait what?! Who knew!? There are so many things that a mass spec can do.

• I've used it for years, yes this may be true.

• I've processed some samples, more than a few.

• But between me and you, I had no idea all the things it could do!

• From sample prep to separation, you just won't believe…

• All of the tips and tricks we have up our sleeve.

• So, take a few minutes, about 15 should do.

• And learn all the things your mass spec can do.

A triple quad does more than just MRM. In this webinar the objective is to explore the different scan functions of a triple quad and how they can be used to solve complex problems. We will give examples of using the precursor ion and neutral loss scanning for lipid analysis. We will also talk about the unique mixed mode acquisition capability of the Agilent Ultivo Triple Quadrupole mass spectrometer, which allows for the sequential use of different acquisition modes in a single injection. Examples of field applications where mixed mode analysis would be fundamentally valuable will also be discussed.

Presenter: Julie Cichelli, PhD (Agilent LC/MS applications Scientist, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)

Julie Cichelli obtained her Bachelor’s Degree from Villanova University in 2003 with a major in chemistry and a minor in mathematics. She went on to pursue graduate school at the University of Utah, studying under Dr. Zharov, completing her Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 2008. Following graduate school in 2009 she accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City researching colon cancer under Dr. Stafforini and Dr. Topham. Subsequently, she joined the Agilent LC/MS applications team in 2010, with a focus in clinical and forensic applications.

Presenter: Sheher Banu Mohsin, Ph.D. (Senior Applications Scientist, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)

Sheher Mohsin is a senior applications scientist at Agilent Technologies. She received her Ph. D in physical chemistry from the University of Illinois and an MBA from Rockhurst University. She started her career at the US Environmental Protection Agency working on dioxin analysis with high resolution mass spectrometers. She later joined Bayer and worked in the special analysis lab using mass spectrometry to solve problems in synthesis, impurity determination and submission of final product impurity profile to regulatory agencies. Sheher’s current focus is on lipidomics using GC, LC and SFC separations and mass spectrometry. Sheher collaborates with academic and government researchers working on complex problems to come up with innovative, simplified workflows using the latest tools in separation and mass spectrometry.
