The industry-standard API 4000™ LC/MS/MS System brings high-performance quantitation and identification to every phase of the pharmaceutical development process, from discovery to clinical research trials. - Proven Curtain Gas™ interface technology, combined with improved gas dynamics, reduces maintenance and increases uptime.
- Enhanced high flow-rate performance, reduced ionization suppression, self-cleaning probe design, and reliable interface all combine for accelerated productivity and high throughput.
- Windows NT® platform-based Analyst® software facilitates GLP compliance, including 21 CFR Part 11.
Low Limits of Detection The high sensitivity of the API 4000™ system ensures low detection limits. Efficient ionization and superior ion sampling of the interface result in excellent sensitivity.
Flexible Options Increase Throughput Easy-to-use TURBO V™ source allows you to quantitate over a wide range of flow rates and to change rapidly between atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and TurboIonSpray® probes. The optional DuoSpray™ ion source accelerates method development and increases both throughput and data quality. An additional option for atmospheric pressure photo-ionization, the PhotoSpray source, expands the range of compounds you can analyze.
Automated Data Acquisition Innovative software applications enable automated MS to MS/MS acquisition, allowing you to extract the maximum amount of information from a single LC/MS run.
Rugged, Reliable, and Easy to Use The superior ionization efficiency, enhanced robustness, and ease of use of the innovative TURBO V™ source, combined with the patented LINAC® collision cell, delivers high performance and high productivity with greater confidence in your results.
Fast, Secure Access to Information for DMPK Studies Integration with Analyst® software's powerful data acquisition and processing capabilities provides fast and secure access to the information you need for DMPK studies.
