LCMS-8050 Mass Spectrometer Increases Quality Analysis

LCMS-8050 Mass Spectrometer Increases Quality Analysis

The LCMS-8050 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer can perform both positive and negative ion analysis in a single run for faster throughput. The LCMS-8050 achieves high sensitivity through a patented ion optics system, a designed heated ESI probe, and UFsweeper III Collision Cell. The LCMS-8050 offers multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) speeds of 555 ch/sec and maintains spectrum quality, sensitivity, and accuracy at scan speeds up to 30,000 μ/sec. The Synchronized Survey Scan function allows users to obtain MRM data while simultaneously performing qualitative MS/MS scans. The LCMS-8050 provides 5-millisecond polarity switching and maintains ion intensity during polarity switching at high speeds. The ion source features a cable-free, tubeless housing when switching from ESI to APCI or dual-ionization mode.

Equivalence test using two one-sided tests are widely used for demonstrating the comparability of treatment effects in different research fields. The method described in the manuscript aims to use simulations in Microsoft Excel to compute power for 2 one-sided tests for two groups with unequal variances.
