Easily more sensitive, just turn the key

With an ionKey UPLC Microflow Source upgrade, you can significantly increase your laboratory’s analytical capabilities. By integrating the UPLC separation into the mass spectrometer source, a new ionKey System upgrade provides:

  • Increased sensitivity
  • Simplified user experience
  • Ability to analyze smaller sample sizes
  • Perform multiple analyses on limited sample volumes
  • Reduced solvent consumption

Overview

Equipment and installation

The ionKey source is available in 2 versions, depending on the type of MS instrument in use. The ToF based instrument source includes additional lock mass sample introduction for exact mass measurement.

Each source is supplied with sample, calibration, and diagnostic iKeys, together with the necessary interconnecting tubing and cabling to attach the source to the existing MS instrument and ACQUITY UPLC M-Class System. Where appropriate, new software, operation documentation, and additional MS instrument paneling is also included.

The ionKey source is supported for use with ACQUITY UPLC M-Class Systems for quadrupole instruments and both M-Class and nanoACQUITY UPLC Systems for ToF based instruments. These instruments are listed below.

Installation, performance confirmation, and operation training by a Waters Field Service Engineer is required.

Existing M-Class and nanoACQUITY UPLC Systems must be fully operational to enable performance demonstration of the new ionKey source.

Instrument compatibility

The ionKey micoflow source is available for the following MS instruments:

  • Xevo TQ-S, Xevo TQ-S micro
  • Xevo G2-XS Tof, Xevo G2-XS QTof
  • SYNAPT G2-S MS, SYNAPT G2-Si MS
  • SYNAPT G2-S HDMS, SYNAPT G2-Si HDMS
