Many Ways to Manipulate S/N

7/31/2014

Agilent 6495 QQQ LC/MS System

11

Variation in S/N measurements makes direct assessment difficult

Increase signal

• Increase the gain

• Narrow chromatographic peak width

• Increase scan averaging

Lower noise

• Select noise region

• Narrow the width of noise region

• Adjust baseline

• Apply peak smoothing & noise filtering

• Vary noise calculation algorithms: Peak-to-Peak, RMS, and ...

a. Peak-to-peak noise

b. RMS noise

c. Smoothing

d. Baseline noise filtering

Page 12: Agilent 6495 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS System 6495 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS System Experience A New Level of Confidence Agilent Technologies 7/31/2014 Agilent 6495 QQQ LC/MS System

Instrument Detection Limit (IDL) is Defined by Statistics

7/31/2014

Agilent 6495 QQQ LC/MS System

12

IDLLCMS = t x SD = t x (%RSD / 100) x amount measured

Based on a well-established statistical formula, follows regulatory guidelines

• The minimum amount of analyte that is detectable and distinguishable from background noise with a confidence level

IDL

• Student “t” value, for

• 99% confidence level

• n – 1 degree of freedom t

• Relative standard deviation / precision of peak area at the amount measured

• From n replicate injections %RSD

• Limited to 2 – 5 x times higher than the Detection Limit (DL)

Amount measured

• Theoretical fitting of %RSD is based on

ion statistics

• %RSD increases at lower injected

amount

%RSD vs. Injected Amount

Why Add IDL Specs for QQQ LC/MS?

7/31/2014

Agilent 6495 QQQ LC/MS System

13

S/N

Many factors impact S/N: - Lower noise - Increase signal

Significant variation in S/N measurements

A relatively high level is used for S/N measurement

Fails to estimate the true limits of detection and quantitation (LLOQ)

Not a good metric of sensitivity performance

IDL (%RSD)

Access sensitivity performance from area %RSD (precision) of replicate injections

Based on a well established statistical formula – follows IUPAC / EPA guidelines

An analytical low level is used for IDL measurement – determined using calibration curve

Accurate assessment of the true limits of detection and quantitation (LLOQ)

A better and more rigorous sensitivity performance metric

5 fg reserpine (+) (n=10) 5 fg chloramphenicol (-) (n=10)

3 x higher area response

Lower area %RSD

3 x higher area response

Lower area %RSD

• The improved sensitivity of the 6495 QQQ LC/MS system results in enhanced peak area

response and improved area precision (%RSD), especially at the low levels

• This ultimately leads to lower instrument detection limits (IDLs) compared to previous designs
