LC/MS/MS is ideally suited for direct, rapid analysis of prepared biological samples. In high-throughput analytical environments , sample analysis times can be shortened by optimizing LC gradient, flow rate or column. A greater gain in throughput can be achieved by limiting the MS acquisition time to the portion where compounds of interest are eluted.      
     
The fully integrated Agilent StreamSelect LC/MS system increases throughput with minimal user interaction. Intelligent software automatically coordinates staggered injections from four 1200 Infinity Series HPLC systems connected in parallel to a single triple quadrupole instrument. The ability of the StreamSelect LC/MS system to run robust and reliable parallel chromatographic separations with optimized MS output greatly enhances sample throughput and lab productivity.
