Agilent Technologies Inc.. (3/11/03). "Press Release: Agilent Technologies Introduces Breakthrough Ion trap Mass Spectrometer for Proteomics and Trace Compound Analysis". Orlando, FL.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced an ion trap mass spectrometer that is approximately 10 times more sensitive than its predecessor. The increased sensitivity, resolution and scan speed of the Agilent 1100 Series LC/MSD Trap XCT promise improved performance for many applications such as the identification and characterization of biologically significant, low-abundance proteins for disease research.

High Capacity Ion Trap Improves Sensitivity, Resolution and Scan Speed
A limitation on the performance of any quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer is trap capacity. Careful changes to trap materials and geometry and new scanning algorithms for Agilent's non-linear ion trap have improved trap capacity by four to eight times. This increase in trap capacity translates directly into increased sensitivity. The improved ion trap and new scanning algorithms also improve mass resolution and scan speed.

"We're extremely pleased to be able to offer this advanced ion trap technology to our customers," stated Ken Imatani, product marketing manager for Agilent's ion trap mass spectrometers. "Mass spectrometrists who work with extremely small sample amounts or highly charged ions should especially benefit."

U.S. Pricing and Availability

The Agilent 1100 Series LC/MSD Trap XCT ion trap mass spectrometer is expected to be available in June, with prices starting at approximately $200,000 for the mass spectrometer, data system, and operating software.
