Overcome Your Biggest Challenges And Your Smallest
When analyzing food, and environmental samples, laboratories need multiple system to get the qualitative and quantitative information on contaminants, resulting in duplicated sample preparation processes, increased cost of ownership and sub-optimal lab efficiency. The unique dual-source configuration of the PerkinElmer QSight® LC/MS/MS System enables high-throughput labs to collect data in two complementary modes (ESI and APCI), maximizing the output from a single injection. Combined with the StayClean™ technology, source cleaning and maintenance is dramatically reduced, translating into higher productivity and ROI. The easy-to-learn PerkinElmer Simplicity™ 3Q Software, streamlines the complete LC/MS/MS workflow, from validated method development to data reporting.
Exploit the productivity for your lab with the QSight LC/MS/MS System.

StayClean HSID Interface: Cleaner, More Reliable Performance
Say goodbye to frequent maintenance and hello to uninterrupted performance. The StayClean HSID Interface is designed to keep your instrument running smoothly with minimal upkeep.
Unlike traditional systems that can accumulate contamination over time, our innovative heated inner surface prevents buildup, while a hot laminar flow ensures efficient desolvation of charged species. This means enhanced ion transmission, greater signal stability, and long-term reliability—so you can focus on your work, not on cleaning.
Experience a smarter, more efficient way to analyze - because your time is valuable.
