Do you want to perform LC-QTOF analysis in the context of a control or a product development?

The LC-QTOF apparatus combines liquid chromatography with a high resolution time-of-flight detector.

This equipment allows to determine the different components of a mixture of organic materials and to determine their nature.

With the help of its specialized detector, the Lc-QTOF is able to determine precisely the molar mass of the molecules and thus their gross formula and their nature.

Indeed, this technique is associated with a database of more than 800 substances! 

The FILAB laboratory is equipped with a latest generation LC-QTOF to assist you

What Is LC-QTOF Analysis? ​

Liquid Chromatography – Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (LC-QTOF) is a high-resolution analytical technique combining chromatographic separation with accurate-mass spectrometry.

This technology provides:
High-resolution, high-accuracy mass measurements (< 5 ppm)
Identification of unknown compounds, impurities, degradation products and leachables
Screening of complex mixtures using full-scan, non-targeted acquisition
Formula elucidation and structural interpretation
Sensitive detection at low concentration levels

Thanks to its versatility, LC-QTOF analysis is ideal for samples requiring detailed chemical profiling such as polymers, organic additives, cosmetic ingredients, medical-device extracts or specialty chemicals.

FAQ

What types of samples can be analyzed by LC-QTOF?

LC-QTOF is suitable for a wide range of organic and polymer-based matrices, including:

  • Polymers, plastics, elastomers
  • Packaging materials
  • Cosmetics & personal care products
  • Medical devices (extracts, residues)
  • Pharmaceuticals & intermediates
  • Chemical formulations & specialty chemicals
What applications is LC-QTOF testing used for?

Our LC-QTOF services support multiple applications, such as:

Do you offer non-targeted LC-QTOF screening?

Yes. LC-QTOF is particularly suited for non-targeted, full-scan screening, allowing the detection and identification of unknown compounds without predefined lists.

This is ideal for complex mixtures, contamination investigation, and material compatibility studies.

Can LC-QTOF testing quantify compounds or only identify them?
