OAD: Innovative fragmentation technology

Innovative fragmentation technology

Oxygen Attachment Dissociation (OAD) is an ion dissociation technology developed by Shimadzu (patented), that enables an easy estimation of the position of double bonds within a carbon chain.
OAD Technology was developed at the Koichi Tanaka Mass Spectrometry Research Laboratory which target mass spectrometry-based solutions to help advancing research in healthcare and Life Sciences fields, Food technologies, Cosmetics, etc.
As an example, The function of lipids differs depending on the presence of double bonds between carbon atoms and their positions. In that scope, OAD technology will be of great help to elucidate the structure and differentiate them.

OAD/CID: Surprisingly simple

OAD/CID: Surprisingly simple

The OAD fragmentation box can be easily installed on your Q-TOF system as an add-on. You can then switch between the two fragmentation CID and OAD technologies.

They are complementary and work in positive and negative mode

Acquisition of a large amount of structural information by OAD and CID can lead to new discoveries in lipid analysis and other organic compounds. 

Endless possibilities

The OAD-TOF system can be used in combination with various options compatible with the LCMS-9050:

  • DPiMS-QT ion source for quick analysis without pre-treatment 
    For quick analysis without sample pre-treatment

  • SICRIT ion source for LC/SFC/GC coupling

  • SFC chromatography
    Isomers with similar structures can be completely separated by SFC
