HPLC with triple quadrupole mass spectrometer
Instrument description
This is an HPLC connected to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The HPLC system allows the separation of chemical compounds in a complex matrix, while the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer allows the identification and quantification of individual analytes in the matrix, thus providing qualitative and quantitative data in the same analysis. It finds wide application in therapeutic drug monitoring.
