New . . . Yet Totally Proven
Dual-stage ion mirror improves
second-order time focusing for
high mass resolution.
Hexapole collision cell accelerates
ion through the cell to enable faster
generation of high-quality MS/MS
spectra without cross-talk
Split-flow turbo differentially
pumps the ion source and
quadrupole analyzer compartments
4GHz ADC electronics enable a high
sampling rate (32 Gbit/s) which improves
the resolution, mass accuracy, and
sensitivity for low-abundance samples.
Dual gain amplifiers simultaneously
process detector signals through both low-
gain and high gain channels, extending the
dynamic range to 105.
Analog-to-digital (ADC) Detector:
Unlike time-to-digital (TDC) detectors
which record single ion events, ADC
detection records multiple ion events,
allowing very accurate mass
assignments over a wide mass range
and dynamic range of concentrations.
Proprietary INVAR flight tube
sealed in a vacuum-insulated
shell eliminates thermal mass
drift due to temperature changes
to maintain excellent mass
accuracy, 24/7. Added length
improves mass resolution.
Hot, quartz monolithic quadrupole
analyzer and collision cell identical
to the 7000 Quadrupole MS/MS

Other New . . . And Improved
New Removable Ion Source

Internal Reference Mass (IRM)
• The goal for the 7200 is for easy and reliable
~2-5ppm mass accuracy under all conditions
• Agilent has developed a proprietary Internal
Reference Mass (IRM) delivery system for “on the
fly” mass axis correction
• IRM is the use of known background ions to “lock” the mass
axis for each scan
• Requires reliable IRM calibration signals with and without
matrix

Add „Q+CID‟ to TOF solution
Sometimes the combined power of
GC Resolution (Agilent)
+
MS Resolving Power (Agilent)
Is not enough based upon:
Small ΔMass Defect (Nature)
+
Intense Matrix Ions (Sample)
High resolution MS/MS can solve some of these problems
Why add „Q‟ to TOF to make Q-TOF?
Page 31
• Structural Elucidation from product Ion spectra using high
resolution and accurate mass
• Start with full scan EI spectrum
• Use CID on each fragment mass to confirm structure of
fragment
• Select Fragment 1 to be precursor 1  Product ions
• Select Fragment 2 to be precursor 2  Product ions
Precursor-product ion relationship is documented
and ion molecular formula confirmed by accurate mass
Requires multiple analyses and much more sensitive than NMR
Will not replace NMR, but will complement nicely

Fluorotelomer Alcohols
• Source unknown, but probably intermediate
degradation products of fluorinated polymers
• Oxidize to form fluorinated carboxylic acid,
some of which are toxic
• Methods needed for studying their transport
and fate in the environment
• Have the form F3C(CF2)N-1(CH2)MOH
• N:M FTOH is the shorthand notation
• Positive CI, 20% CH4

What about TOF SPEED?
TOF always collects full mass range
Q-TOF always display full product ion spectrum
• Acquisition Rate: transients (pulses) /second
• 10,000 transients/second
• Sum of transients = Spectral Rate:
• Typical max rate: 25-200 spectra/sec (Hz) to disk
• Usable rate is limited by signal level (ion count)
• New analysis opportunities for GC/MS:
• High Throughput: ~20 Hz
• Ultra high resolution GC: ~ 40Hz
• GCxGC: ~50-200 Hz
Page 58
“Speed” enhances deconvolution
Time
Deconvolution Requires Time Offset
Page 59
High data rate = better deconvolution
Slow data rate will not
pick each peak apex
Fast data rate will allow
deconvolution of closely
eluting peaks

The 7200 Q-TOF in TOF mode
will have:
•Faster Data Rates
•Maintain Excellent S/N
•New MassHunter

Page 61
And What about Q-TOF File Size?
• Typical file sizes for pesticide analysis
• MSD SIM – 0.8-1 MB/18-min run
• MSD scan – 3-5 MB/40-min run
• TQ MRM – 5 MB/20-min run
• TQ scan – 8 MB/20-min run
• IT MS/MS – 2.5 MB/45-min run (99 compounds)
• TOF or Q-TOF Typical run
• 800-1200 MB/20-min run at 5 Hz, profile
• Centroid only reduces 5-10X
Note: File size depends on the threshold, number of target compounds,
number of masses/compound, and runtime etc.
Page 62
• Can accurate mass measurements
be made in a real matrix?
• What are the limitations?

Hexapole collision cell accelerates ion through the cell to enable faster generation of high-quality MS/MS spectra without cross-talk Split-flow turbo differentially pumps the ion source and quadrupole analyzer compartments 4GHz ADC electronics enable a high sampling rate (32 Gbit/s) which improves the resolution, mass accuracy, and sensitivity for low-abundance samples. Dual gain amplifiers simultaneously process detector signals through both low- gain and high gain channels, extending the dynamic range to 105. Analog-to-digital (ADC) Detector: Unlike time-to-digital (TDC) detectors which record single ion events, ADC detection records multiple ion events, allowing very accurate mass assignments over a wide mass range and dynamic range of concentrations. Proprietary INVAR flight tube sealed in a vacuum-insulated shell eliminates thermal mass drift due to temperature changes to maintain excellent mass accuracy, 24/7.
