GCMS-TQ8040 Triple Quadrupole MS : Just smart …

Shimadzu, one of the world leaders in analytical instrumentation, introduces the new GCMS-TQ8040. It inherits the performance of the GCMS-TQ8030 triple quadrupole, which provides ppt (1 trillionth) level sensitivity and ultra-high-speed analysis. At the same time, the GCMS-TQ8040 offers significantly improved throughput and operability. This product features excellent productivity via simultaneous analysis, smart operability, high sensitivity and high speed.

In addition, it can be used as a "GCMS Smart System" when combined with Smart Database series libraries.

As phase one of the Smart Database series, the Smart Pesticides Database is available concurrently. This database supports the analysis of residual pesticides in foods with data on approximately 480 pesticide components used worldwide, thereby contributing to food safety. Additional databases will be developed for environmental, pharmaceutical and life sciences applications.

The most accurate, cost-effective triple quadrupole GCMS ever

Improving accuracy and throughput, the new GCMS-TQ8040 combines Ultra-Fast Mass Spectrometry (UFMS) and Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) based on Shimadzu''s patented UFsweeperTM technology. The system is the most accurate, cost effective, easy-touse triple quadrupole GCMS ever. Through smart technologies, it provides a new level in routine work.

- Smart Productivity means high efficiency and sample throughput and is based on simultaneous multi-component analysis.

- Smart Operation facilitates rapid and easy method development.

- Smart Performance enables Scan/MRM for low detection limits and simultaneous target compound confirmation.

Analysis three times faster

In response to these needs, Shimadzu has developed the GCMS-TQ8040. Equipped with new firmware protocols and a method creation program, the system achieves excellent productivity and higher level operability without sacrificing high sensitivity, high selectivity and high speed. Since sensitivity is not lost, even during simultaneous multicomponent analysis, the GCMS-TQ8040 can simultaneously analyze over 400 components, more than twice the capability

of existing models.

- Two new technologies – Smart MRM and firmware protocol

- New software functions for creation of GC-MS/MS analysis methods
