Shimadzu Ultra-Fast LCMS technology helps you generate more high-quality data faster with less maintenance downtime

What Can UFMS Technology Do For Your Lab?

Process More Samples Faster to Meet Deadlines

Shimadzu UFMS technology enables you to process more samples faster with no compromise in sensitivity. That means you get the actionable data you need – when you need it – to meet tight client demands and stay ahead of your workflow.

Reduce Time Wasted on Routine Instrument Maintenance

Shimadzu UFMS LCMS Triple-Quad instruments are designed to be as easy to maintain as possible. Routine cleaning is required less often and can be done quickly and easily – without tools and without the need to break the vacuum.

Streamline Workflows with Easy-To-Use Software

Shimadzu Insight Software features flexible workspace setup, custom shortcut menu configurations and efficient “review by exception” functionality to make instrument operation quick and easy to learn.

An Innovative Approach to LCMS

For the past ten years, Shimadzu has been a driving force in LCMS innovations. We focused on technologies that deliver tangible benefits to labs – like generating more data faster and maximizing uptime by reducing maintenance. So we challenged our engineers to re-think critical components like data acquisition systems and ion optics.

The result is a family of instruments with robust operation, class-leading sensitivity, and ultra fast speed. That’s why we call it Ultra Fast Mass Spectrometry (UFMS) – and it’s getting a lot of attention. The high-speed data acquisition meets the needs of large-compound-panel testing in fields including food safety, environmental and toxicology.

ROBUST DETECTION

Innovative Ion Optics

Shimadzu’s UF-Qarray system converges the ion beam precisely into the quadrupole mass analyzer. A wider gas flow path ensures that inert particles do not interfere with the ion path.The results are astonishingly robust detection at very high sensitivities – even with complex matrices.

ULTRA FAST ACQUISITION

Enhanced Collision Cell

With our UFsweeper technology, voltage is applied to the collision cell to actively “sweep away” residual ions. This cuts the total MRM cycle time to 1.8 milliseconds – delivering an industry-leading 555 MRM transitions per second. All with no compromise in sensitivity.

LESS CONTAMINATION

New IonFocus Unit

We determined the optimum placement for the ion source – increasing the distance from the ion inlet. So the instrument retains high sensitivity while bringing in much less contamination. That means you can run it longer before needing to stop for routine cleaning and maintenance.
