Liquid chromatography ion-trap mass spectrometry
The ion-trap LC/MS-MS instrument (Agilent XCT Trap) is our tool for confirmation of target compounds and study of fragmentation pathways.
It provides MSn analyses and it has been successfully applied to the discovery of new metabolites and non-target compounds via fragmentation pathways.
This is a relatively easy instrument to operate and a powerful tool for deciphering fragmentation pathways of emerging contaminants.
