First Quadupole Time-of-Flight Gas Chromatography System introduced  

Agilent Technologies announce the launch of the 7200 Quadrupole Time-of-Flight gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Q-TOF GC/MS)
The Agilent 7200 is the world’s first Q-TOF GC/MS built specifically for GC that delivers a new level of chromatographic and spectral resolution to a wide range of biological and chemical GC/MS analyses. The instrument was showed in Singapore at an event for the first time, and generated a lot of interest from the conference attendees.
Agilent’s 7200 Q-TOF GC/MS is well-suited for analyzing target compounds and unknowns in challenging applications such as metabolomics, food safety, natural products research, environmental analysis, sports-doping detection, and energy research. With the 7200 Q-TOF GC/MS, customers are able to coax more qualitative and quantitative information out of increasingly complex samples.
Also at the event, Agilent introduced the 6550 iFunnel Quadrupole Time-of-Flight liquid chromatography mass spectrometry system (Q-TOF LC/MS). The 6550 iFunnel Q-TOF offers 10 times more sensitivity than its previous model, while delivering fast acquisition to 50 spectra/sec, up to five orders of intra-scan dynamic range, and robust performance and operation. The system is well suited for highly challenging, qualitative and quantitative analyses in applications such as metabolomics, food-safety screening, early-stage drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, and protein identification.
