  • MassHunter acquisition software for LC/MS systems provides powerful instrument control and data acquisition. Instrument and method setup are easy and fast, with automated tuning for straightforward and reliable operation.
  • MassHunter Acquisition Software unleashes the power of your Agilent triple quadrupole, time-of-flight (TOF), and quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) LC/MS systems. With its intuitive design and easy-to-access instrument-specific features, it enables you to focus on sample analysis, not instrument setup.
  • MassHunter acquisition software is used across all Agilent 6200 Series LC/TOF, Ultivo, 6400 Series triple quadrupole and 6500 Series Q-TOF LC/MS systems, reducing the need for training
  • Meeting data integrity standards - Provides the technical controls to securely acquire, process, report and store data in laboratories that must follow the compliance guidelines of FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, GAMP5 as well as ISO/IEC 17025 and EPA&#146s 40 CFR Part 160
  • Importing worklists from spreadsheets saves time in method development and high-throughput screening
  • Optimizer software for Ultivo and 6400 Series triple quadrupole LC/MS systems seamlessly optimizes ion source parameters and MRM transitions of compounds by infusion, flow injection, or chromatographic separation
  • Study Manager for Ultivo and 6400 Series triple quadrupole LC/MS systems enables queue management of worklists submitted to the instrument
  • Optional acquisition add-on software packages such as RapidFire and StreamSelect are supported
  • Agilent&#146s proprietary SWARM autotune quickly and easily tunes the instrument to its peak performance
  • All Ions MS/MS Technique for targeted and untargeted screening on TOF and Q-TOF LC/MS
  • Interactive MS/MS increases data quality of Q-TOF LC/MS by focusing on what matters
  • Supports optional MassHunter WalkUp software for TOF and Q-TOF LC/MS systems which enables anyone to submit a sample to a HRAM instrument

Overview

Technology

Instrument intelligence increases the robustness of your analyses

In your lab, instrument intelligence refers to the technologies that allow your LC/MS to self-monitor expected settings, dynamically identify changes in analytical performance, and automatically adjust behavior to extend instrument uptime and reduce the burden of manual intervention. These innovations can revolutionize routine workflows by streamlining processes, automating routine activities, and significantly improving robustness for higher efficiency and productivity.

How it works

LC/MS instrument intelligence and automation

Intelligent reflex is a smart algorithm that automatically reinjects samples based on answers provided by quantitative mass spectrometry data analysis software. This algorithm enhances data quality in real time and dramatically increases throughput through several logic-based workflows.

Coming soon: Design your own intelligent workflows

Stay tuned for the custom intelligent workflow that gives you greater control and flexibility in your analysis.

Define your workflow logic and automate responses in real time:

  • Select QC, blank, and sample outliers based on your requirements
  • Trigger the reflex actions such as pause, stop, or reinject

Applications

Agilent MassHunter Method Optimizer for Triple Quadrupole LC/MS

MassHunter Method Optimizer is a built-in component of MassHunter Acquisition 12.1 and above for triple quadrupole LC/MS (LC/TQ). The tool automates MRM method development with three step-by-step optimization modes for guided, automated, or compound-by-compound optimization. Optimizable parameters include precursor and product ion identification, collision energies, and source parameters. MassHunter Method Optimizer enables direct transfer of optimized parameters and MRM transitions to LC/TQ databases or methods, streamlining method building.
