Thermo Scientific ISQ Single Quadrupole GC-MS
Re-think the way your lab operates with the Thermo Scientific ISQ single quadrupole GC-MS system. The ISQ? GC-MS incorporates a source design that lets your system stay cleaner, longer. With heat throughout the ion optics, the ISQ GC-MS system can analyze more dirty samples per day, with maximum uptime.
Unstoppable Productivity
The Thermo Scientific ISQ single quadrupole GC-MS system offers rugged and reliable performance and nonstop productivity. The ISQ GC-MS system provides simplified operation and minimum downtime for uninterrupted productivity in routine GC-MS applications including forensics, toxicology, food safety and environmental. A highly robust and rugged system, the ISQ GC-MS features the new ExtractaBrite™ removable ion source designed to provide maximum uptime and productivity by increasing the length of time between required source maintenance. In addition, the ISQ GC-MS offers the ability to remove the entire ion source without venting the analyzer to allow 24/7 operation.

Linking LC-HRMS Features to Aquatic Toxicity: A Nontargeted Approach Without Compound Identification
July 7th 2025A recent study conducted by the University of Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and the University of Queensland (Queensland, Australia) developed a novel prioritization strategy that directly links fragmentation and chromatographic data to aquatic toxicity categories, bypassing the need for identification of individual compounds. LCGC International spoke to Viktoriia Turkina of the University of Amsterdam, lead author of the paper that resulted from this study, about their work.
Detection and Risk Assessment of Mycotoxins in Commercial Tortillas Using HPLC-Based Methods
July 4th 2025A joint study between Selçuk University (Konya, Turkey) and Hitit University (Corum, Turkey) determined the natural occurrence and concentrations of the mycotoxins ochratoxin A (OTA) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in commercially available tortillas in Turkey. Contamination levels were quantified using validated analytical methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence or ultraviolet detectors (HPLC-FLD or HPLC–UV).
