replaces the ESI or APCI probe in the instrument’s source housing and has no external gas or
electrical connections.

1.3.9 APGC
The Waters APGC couples an Agilent GC with the Xevo TQ-XS. Doing so enables you to perform
LC and GC analyses in the same system, without compromising performance. The APGC
provides complementary information to the LC/MS instrument, enabling analysis of compounds of
low molecular weight and low-to-intermediate polarity.
See the
Atmospheric Pressure GC Operator's Guide Supplement
for further details.
1.3.10 TRIZAIC UPLC source
The TRIZAIC UPLC source accepts a nanoTile device, which combines the functions of an
analytical column, trapping column, and nanospray emitter. This technology simplifies the
implementation of capillary-scale chromatography and analysis of limited-volume samples.
See the
TRIZAIC UPLC System Guide
for further details.
1.3.11 ionKey source
The ionKey source integrates UPLC separation into the source of the mass spectrometer. The
source accepts an iKey Separation Device, which contains the fluidic connections, electronics,
ESI interface, heater, e-cord, and chemistry. Inserting the iKey simultaneously engages the
electronic and fluidic connections. This technology eliminates the need to manually connect
electronic cables and tubing, and simplifies the user experience.

ACQUITY UPLC M-Class System Guide
(part number 715003588) and the
ionKey/MS
System Guide
(part number 715004028) for further details.
