" With enhanced sensitivity and selectivity, triple quadrupole GC/MS/MS is the method of choice for a variety of applications, from food safety and environmental monitoring to clinical research and forensics. As the only GC/MS/MS capable of running all triple quad operational modes, without sacrificing sensitivity or accuracy, Shimadzu’s GCMS-TQ8030 elevates this method to a new level of performance. At scan speeds of 20,000 u/second, the GCMS-TQ8030 acquires the maximum number of MRM transitions for targeted analytes. The instrument simultaneously acquires scan data for non-target analyses without sacrificing sensitivity or accuracy. It incorporates Shimadzu’s UFsweeper® technology, which reduces collision cell length, provides high-efficiency collision induced dissociation (CID) and minimizes cross-talk. The overdrive lens and high-sensitivity ion optics eliminate neutral noise and maximize signal intensity for ultimate S/N ratio. The GCMS-TQ8030 features a front-access ion source, which provides quick, stress-free maintenance, as well as a fast pump-down to minimize down time. Other features include: • Fully optimized collision energy for each MRM transition • 600 MRM transitions/second • Individually optimized quadrupole resolution on Q1 and Q3 for each compound • Ecology mode minimizes gas usage and saves energy A number of options to improve productivity are available. These include a Twin Line MS Kit, which allows users to switch applications without venting the MS to change columns; ion sources individually optimized for CI and NCI; and a direct insertion probe for analyzing sensitive or thermally labile compounds. GCMSsolution software is equipped with a variety of user-friendly features to simplify routine operations. These include AART for automatic adjustment of retention times, a database of MRM transitions and collision energies for more than 500 pesticides, a wizard for creating MRM methods and extensive report customization."
