Performance, productivity and value combined


API 3200 LC/MS/MS SYSTEM

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

High uptime, superior reproducibility, maximal productivity


Reliability, reproducibility, and condence in your data. With an unmatched heritage of technological innovation and dependability, the triple quadrupole API 3200 system offers an attractive blend of performance, throughput, and value.
Designed for high-throughput labs doing small molecule quantitation, the compact, affordable API 3200 system delivers best-in-class reliability and reproducibility over virtually all samples encountered in environmental, food, clinical research, and pharmaceutical applications.
Like all of our industry-leading triple quadrupole and QTRAP systems, the API 3200 system platform features the Turbo V ion source with plug-and-play probes that let you analyze an extended range of compounds over a wide range of ow rates. Patented Curtain Gas interface and LINAC collision cell technologies provide superior ruggedness and selectivity for your most exacting quantitative analyses. Powerful software, advanced automation features, and robust engineering increase your productivity, giving you the ability to routinely analyze hundreds of samples day after day, year after year.

Absolute ionization Innovative Turbo V ion source efciently ionizes compounds and virtually eliminates cross-contamination, even with large sample loads, for high-sensitivity quantitation over a wide range of ow rates.

Superior MS/MS performance Patented, proven LINAC collision cell technology provides faster scan times. So you can analyze more compounds per run, with no compromise in sensitivity or mass spectral quality.

Maximal uptime Proprietary Curtain Gas interface reduces the need for routine maintenance and ensures maximal productivity by protecting the interface region and quadrupole analyzer from contamination.

Curtain Gas interface The proprietary Curtain Gas interface reduces the need for routine maintenance and ensures maximal uptime and productivity by protecting the interface region and quadrupole analyzer from contamination.

LINAC collision cell The patented LINAC collision cell ensures maximal ion transfer free of crosstalk from the interface to the detector in MS/MS mode, allowing simultaneous multicomponent analyses. So you can monitor more compounds and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions without any appreciable loss in signal. LINAC collision

Convenient plug and play ion sources Rugged, reliable, and easily interchangeable ion sources are available for a wide range of applications and ow rates to suit your analysis needs. Rapid source changeover minimizes downtime and simplies routine maintenance. All connections are fully integrated into the source housing There are no extra lines to attach and no lost time. The innovative Turbo V ion source efciently ionizes compounds and virtually eliminates cross-contamination, even with large sample loads. Embedded ceramic heater technology and improved gas dynamics contribute to the systems low detection limits and enable high-sensitivity quantitation over a wide ow range up to 3 mL/min. The quick-change ESI and APCI probes let you switch between ionization modes in seconds.

The DuoSpray source contains two separate inlets for ESI and APCI probes, allowing the optimal ionization technique and conditions for each compound during an LC run. It speeds up method development while also increasing throughput and data quality. The PhotoSpray source for atmospheric pressure photo-ionization expands the range of compounds that can be analyzed, often at higher sensitivities than ESI or APCI. The PhotoSpray source can ionize many compounds that are not easily ionized by ESI or APCI, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The NanoSpray II source gives you the versatility of discrete nanospray and nanoow HPLC capabilities using nebulizing gas-assisted MicroIonSpray ion source for low ow work such as protein and peptide analysis. An improved interface permits more efcient transfer of ions from the NanoSpray source into the system, increasing robustness and sensitivity.

cell technology also enables fast scanning, with uncompromised performance in all modes of operation, including product ion, precursor ion, and neutral loss scans.

More reliable, more confident results from every experiment


A new generation of industry-trusted Analyst Software lets you configure, tune, acquire data, explore, and quantitate with high confidence even when working with complex matrices. You can automatically create fully optimized methods for multiple compounds, quickly generate new quantitation methods, and analyze and compare analytical results.
Analyst Software also provides a comprehensive feature set for GLP labs, including full support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. It offers an easily administered, integrated security model that adapts to the needs of your lab, and gives you added condence in your data. Powerful, automated add-on applications, such as information dependent acquisition (IDA) further extend the systems data acquisition and processing capabilities.

Outstanding inter- and intra-day quantitative performance

Impressive linearity over a wide dynamic range is demonstrated in this calibration curve of ve replicate injections at each concentration level of cyanazine, a triazine herbicide. The excellent accuracy and percent coefcient of variation (%CV) illustrate the consistent high-quality quantitative results achievable day after day with the API 3200 system.

To conrm the stability and reproducibility of the calibration and quantitative performance of the API 3200 system, three replicate injections of atrazine were run at each concentration level to create the calibration curve above. During the course of the four-day study, nine replicate injections were run at each concentration level. The %CV and accuracy surpass the typical quantitative analysis performance requirements and demonstrate the exceptional stability and reproducibility of the API 3200 system. Outstanding inter- and intra-day quantitative performance makes rapid validation of your methods a certainty.

Simplified cross-platform methods transfer Many labs employ multiple AB SCIEX triple quadrupole and QTRAP LC/MS/MS systems in their daily work. Because all of these platforms use the same Analyst Software and Turbo V ion source, method transfer is quick and easysimply copy over the source parameters, adjust compound-specic instrument parameters, and start running. In this way, a method can be developed on the API 3200 system and then transferred among other AB SCIEX platforms, providing extra exibility for busy labs looking to maximize output.
