- DUIS: The dual ion source continuously performs both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI).
 - Synchronized Survey Scan: Synchronized Survey Scan (SSS) automatically performs a product ion scanning whenever a pre-set survey scan threshold is exceeded.
 - UFsweeper: UFsweeper is a unique technology that delivers unparalleled efficiency and speed. UFsweeper accelerates ions out of the collision cell by forming a pseudo-potential surface.
 - QP guard: Reduces contamination of the quadrupole rod by applying voltage to the multi-pole and preventing unwanted ions from entering the quadrupole rod.
