With innovative JetClean technology, your lab can:

– Increase instrument uptime. Fewer manual cleanings maximize productivity.

– Maintain data quality. A clean ion source ensures run-to-run reproducibility.

– Enhance operator convenience. Automated cleaning requires virtually no user intervention.

What’s more, JetClean technology accommodates any workflow. You can clean and analyze simultaneously, or clean when you’re not acquiring data. Either way, JetClean delivers more uptime, more great results, and more data for your dollar.

Matrix deposits inevitably build up during routine analysis. In the past, you would have to remove the ion source, scrub the lens and other components, put it all back together, and recalibrate the instrument.

Now, there’s a better way to clean your GC/MS ion source.

The patented Agilent JetClean self-cleaning ion source greatly reduces—or even eliminates—the need for source cleaning on Agilent single and triple quadrupole GC/MS systems. A controlled flow of hydrogen ensures that the ion source is kept free from contamination, protecting the integrity of your results. And there’s no disassembly required.

Keep Your Ion Source Clean—Automatically

Replace the arduous task of manual source cleaning with effortless JetClean operation

With JetClean Without JetClean

Reduce or Eliminate Manual Source Cleaning

JetClean uses a carefully controlled hydrogen flow to keep the ion source free from contamination. So you get more consistent results.

Ion source comparison after hundreds of soil extract injections. With JetClean, no contamination was observed on the source and lenses, and consistent response was maintained.

Deposits were clearly present on the source without JetClean. These deposits impacted response stability and needed to be removed to maintain data quality.

“Our laboratory carries out pesticide residue analysis with the Agilent 7000 GC/MS/MS… To satisfy SANCO-defined QA/QC specifications with [varied] samples, the GC/MS source usually had to be cleaned every two weeks. After installing the JetClean system, the frequency of the manual source cleaning has been greatly reduced. We now manually clean the source only once in every three months. This increased productivity and freed up operator time is greatly appreciated.”

– Jana Pulkrabova, PhD Head of the Department of Food Analysis and Nutrition University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague

We measured polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in palm oil after a simple toluene extraction. Various concentrations of calibration, QC samples, and palm oil extracts were analyzed during a 5-day, 200-injection evaluation. The results show consistently remarkable linearity and precision, low detection limits, and unmatched robustness.

Maintain Reliable Data and Satisfy Demanding Quality-Control Criteria

Excellent linearity: calibration ranging from 1 to 100 ng/mL with R2 values > 0.997.

Quant and qualifier ion plots of Benzo[a]pyrene at 1 ng/mL. Robust signal and Gaussian peak shape were maintained during the study.

The area response of 1 μg/kg spiked palm oil extract remained stable during the 5-day study, resulting in less than 5% area response RSD.

“We had to clean the ion source on our previous, non-Agilent GC/MS about once every two weeks. Since we started using the Agilent GC/MSD with JetClean, the source has been cleaned once in nine months. [That means] our instrument spends more time running samples and generating data—and our users spend less time having to remove, clean, and reinstall the source.”

– Dr. Noga Sikron Persi Ben-Gurion University Metabolomics Laboratory

Putting JetClean to the test in a high-throughput metabolomics labThe JetClean self-cleaning ion source delivered huge time savings when analyzing plant metabolites in a high-throughput research laboratory, without compromising data quality.
