Trap-Free 2D LC/MS system for Quadrupole LCMS

Enhancing the Efficiency of Impurity Analysis

Question:
When impurities are detected by UV under non-volatile mobile phase conditions, does one need to adapt the method to use volatile mobile phase additives for LCMS confirmation?

Answer:
With the use of a Trap-free 2D LCMS system, no additional method development is required because mobile phases can be changed online.

  • Online switching between a non-volatile mobile phase and a volatile mobile phase
  • Convenient support tool coordinated within LabSolutions
  • Only the impurities of interest are introduced to the MS system, so there are no concerns about peak misalignment.

Creating a Time Program and Batch Schedule using the Support Tool

The optimal valve sequence can be constructed by entering the retention times for impurity peaks observed in the first-dimension UV chromatogram, and then a batch schedule can be created to acquire data on multiple impurities and their respective blanks.

Using the Data Browser Makes Identification of Impurities Easy
