Product news

Shimadzu, one of the world leaders in analytical instrumentation, has released a new member of the UFMS (Ultra-Fast Mass Spectrometry) family in Europe: the LCMS-8045 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

For laboratories performing demanding routine quantitative analyses e.g. in food safety and environmental testing, the new LCMS-8045 offers an optimum balance of sensitivity, robustness and cost-effectiveness. In case of new challenges or applications requiring higher sensitivity, the LCMS-8045 can be upgraded to the high-sensitivity LCMS-8060. Ultra-fast technologies improve data acquisition and ensure highly reproducible data even for the most complex matrices. Shimadzu’s LabSolutions software provides options to address specific customer requirements.

Increased durability, easier maintenance and a lower total cost of ownership

The LCMS-8045 features a modified ion sampling device and collision cell technology, resulting in greater efficiency and high quantitative accuracy and reliability. In addition, the ion source features a cable-less, tubeless housing and the desolvation capillary can be replaced without breaking vacuum. This leads to increased durability, easier maintenance and a lower total cost of ownership.

As part of the Shimadzu UFMS series, the LCMS-8045 features a range of ultra-fast technologies. These include a scan speed of 30,000 u/sec without loss of mass accuracy, and a polarity switching time of 5 msec, which ensures highly reproducible data even for the most demanding matrices.

LabSolutions software addresses specific customer requirements

The LCMS-8045 operates using Shimadzu’s LabSolutions software, an intuitive package that enables simplified instrument control, diverse data handling and integration with regulatory compliance requirements. Numerous options including application-specific method packages and open-access quantitative analysis software are available to address specific customer requirements.

The LCMS-8045 can be upgraded, like the LCMS-8050 to the high-sensitivity LCMS-8060 in case of new challenges or applications requiring higher sensitivity.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Food and Beverage AnalyzersFood and Beverage Analyzers are commonly used to provide information about the chemical composition, structure and physical properties of food materials.Quantitative AnalysesQuantitative analyses involve measuring the amount or concentration of a substance in a sample using analytical techniques. These analyses are essential in fields like chemistry, biology, and environmental science.
