New databases

Agilent also introduced updates to several software tools. Agilent MassHunter BioConfirm Software now includes a new walkup version of the drug-to-antibody calculator, which enables characterisation of antibody drug conjugates by non-expert LC/MS users. Agilent MassHunter Profinder Software speeds up recursive feature extraction and performs simultaneous analysis of multiple data files from quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometers used in tandem with gas or liquid chromatographs. New analytical features, such as improved reporting, are available on Agilent MassHunter Quant Software, as well as support for national pharmacopoeia system suitability testing and a new metabolomics database and method for dynamic multiple reaction monitoring. Several personal compound databases and libraries in water purity assessment, extractables and leachables, for food and pharmaceuticals, were also announced. Additions were made to existing PCDLs for pesticides, veterinary drugs and forensic toxicology.
