New Single-Quad LC/MS Detection System 16 Environmental Analysis
PerkinElmer (USA) announce it’s recently launched Flexar TM SQ 300 MS platform. Combining efficient chromatographic separation with mass spectrometry detection capabilities, the new Flexar SQ 300 MS system is designed for analysts seeking a fast, accurate and robust system to quickly identify and quantify compounds.
Part of PerkinElmer’s high performance and reliable Flexar LC portfolio, the mass detection system provides a rugged ion source design and wide molecular weight detection range for HPLC and UHPLC applications. Suitable for use in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, the Flexar SQ 300 MS platform enables efficient and reliable ionization of compounds in both positive and negative modes for the efficient analysis of a broad range of analytes. For food and environmental testing applications, a patented multi-stage ion path allows for multi-residue analysis with high limits of detection sensitivity. Moreover, advanced Collision Induced Dissociation (CID) technology enables fragmentation for further confirmation of molecular structure.
Dusty Tenney, president of Analytical Sciences and Laboratory Services at PerkinElmer, said, “Built upon PerkinElmer’s expertise in mass spectrometry, the new Flexar SQ 300 MS system delivers an innovative approach to enhance sensitivity and increase productivity. By bringing the power of molecular weight determination to chromatographers, we’re empowering a new level of sample insight through speed, confirmatory analysis and best-in-class sensitivity.”
Flexar SQ 300 MS offers ease of switching between the Ultraspray ESI and Field-free APCI ion sources and fast interchangeability of probes. The probes can be specific to a user, application or sample type, helping to minimise the risk of cross contamination and instrument downtime. Its patented grounded ion source design allows for quick and safe probe installation. The probe position can be easily optimised for different flows and chemical environments to maintain excellent ionisation performance.
Designed for multiple applications, Flexar’s unique, 3-tier performance platform ranges from analytical to UHPLC and features a wide range of pumps, autosamplers and detectors that can be configured and integrated with the system. Control of the Flexar SQ 300 MS detection system is driven by PerkinElmer’s new Chromera®
be configured for multi-detection capabilities. Providing exceptional functionality, the software helps streamline workflow for efficient sample analysis and data acquisition.
Combining flexibility of use with superior ionisation technology, Flexar™ SQ 300 MS demonstrates PerkinElmer’s commitment to developing detection capabilities for environmental health applications to ultimately protect consumers.

Process Efficiency – Innovative Solutions for Extraction and Concentration
Innovative techniques for the determination of analytes in environmental and food matrices in the trace and ultra-trace range are one of the main challenges of chemists nowadays. Büchi offers excellent solutions for extraction and concentration in environmental analysis: SpeedExtractor and Syncore®
Analyst.
Büchi’s (Switzerland) SpeedExtractor offers an efficient solid/liquid extraction method, using high temperature and pressure to accelerate the extraction process and to reduce the solvent consumption. With its parallel format up to six samples can be extracted simultaneously within approximately 20 to 40 minutes. The SpeedExtractor also distinguishes itself by its user-friendliness. The desired method is loaded, then the extraction cells are sealed automatically and, at the push of a button, six samples are extracted. This provides a high degree of safety, eliminates handling errors, and ensures reproducibility. The SpeedExtractor’s flexibility is unique as well: Temperature range of 50-200°C, pressure range of 50-150 bar, extraction cell size of 10-120 ml, and an integrated step for rinsing into a separate waste container.
Büchi impresses with intelligent laboratory solutions which create an optimised process flow. The SpeedExtractor’s parallel format is ideally complemented by the parallel evaporator Syncore®
without any sample loss, and to be concentrated in parallel to pre-defined residual volumes. The key feature of the Syncore®
Analyst. This paired system allows for collection vessels to be transferred directly and therefore Analyst is an integrated
cooling zone which stores the sample in a cooled environment. High recovery rates are achieved with the ultimate Flushback Module that gently rinses the glass walls during operation with the solvent being evaporated. The risk of cross-contamination is eliminated by an individual sample sealing system and by separated vacuum channels. Efficient and parallel concentration in less than one hour and the reduction of environmental impact due to solvent recovery make the Syncore®
and ultra-trace analysis. For more information visit
