5D Ultra-e
LC-GCxGC-MS/MS system
The 5D Ultra-e (LC-GCxGC-MS/MS system) is a unique system
that combines a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatograph and triple
quadrupole mass spectrometer with an HPLC system connected online. This system
is the only one of its kind in the world. The online HPLC system enhances the
power of comprehensive GCxGC analysis and simultaneously improves productivity
by increasing automation. Furthermore, GCxGC system combined with an ultra fast
triple quadrupole mass spectrometer allows both untargeted analysis as well as
targeted analysis of components in complex samples. Consequently, the five
dimensions provided by the LC + GCxGC + MS/MS system opens the road to analysis
with even higher separation and higher selectivity.
* This LC-GCxGC-MS/MS system was developed by the group led
by Prof. Dr. Luigi Mondello at the University of Messina and Chromaleont S. r.
l. in Italy and developed into a product by Shimadzu Corporation.
Introducing the Next
Advancement in Comprehensive Chromatography
Consolidation of Technology
for Maximizing the Capacity of Comprehensive 2D GC-MS
GCxGC is often used for comprehensive sample measurements
because of its superior separation capabilities. Nevertheless, GCxGC can be
inadequate for extremely complex samples. Adding an LC unit, which involves a
different separation mode, in front of the GCxGC unit allows more detailed
GCxGC separation.
Highly Selective MS/MS
Detection
This GCxGC system combined with an ultra fast triple
quadrupole mass spectrometer unit allows both untargeted scan mode analysis and
targeted MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) mode measurements.
The System
The system includes HPLC (Prominence) units, LC-GC transfer
unit (AOC-5000 Plus and OPTIC-4PTV), GCxGC unit (GC-2010 Plus and ZX-2), and a
MS/MS (GCMS-TQ8040). After the sample is injected into the Prominence HPLC, it
is separated by normal-phase chromatography. Then the AOC-5000 Plus injects
only the target fraction into the OPTIC-4 GC inlet. After separating the
fraction in the GCxGC with a double-oven and ZX-2 thermal modulator, it is
detected in the GCMS-TQ8040. This entire series of analytical steps can be
executed entirely from the 5D Solution integrated software, which means the
resulting data can be analyzed using ChromSquare 2D chromatography data analysis
software.

Software
5D Solution Integrated
Software
Dedicated software is used to control each unit of the
LC-GCxGC-MS/MS system. However, 5D Solution collectively manages all of these
control software programs, so that analysis can be started with a single click.
Furthermore, continuous analysis of multiple samples can be performed.
The included linear velocity calculation software allows the
user to view the calculated linear velocity values of the first and second
columns while the optimal column inlet pressures are being specified, which
provides powerful assistance for determining analytical conditions for
comprehensive 2D-GC analysis.
Data Analysis Software
for Comprehensive GC ChromSquare
ChromSquare 2D-GC data analysis software converts data
obtained from the LC-GCxGC-MS/MS system to contour data (2D map). Chromatogram
peaks appear as spots on the contour lines. These spots are used for
qualitative and quantitative analysis. ChromSquare is able to display a summary
of the corresponding second-dimensional chromatogram, mass spectrum, and
analytical data together with 2D maps, which makes it easy to perform data analysis.
