Agilent plans to extend triple-quad's
mass range
Announced plans for a significant upgrade to the Agilent 6410 triple quadrupole (QQQ) mass spectrometer that will benefit researchers involved in biomarker validation and other proteomics applications
The Agilent 6410 triple quadrupole (QQQ) mass spectrometer's mass range will be extended to 2000m/z from the current 1650m/z The extension will be available as an upgrade in tandem with the release of a new version of Agilent's MassHunter Workstation software, MassHunter B.01.03, in September
