Shimadzu has introduced the new GCMS-TQ8030 triple quadrupole gas chromatograph mass spectrometer which offers a solution for today’s challenges along with the speed, accuracy and ease-of-operation scientists demand.
With Shimadzu’s high-efficiency, proprietary ion source the system achieves the highest sensitivity specification in its class for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) measurements by GC/MS/MS, as well as for scan and SIM measurements by GC/MS.
The GCMS-TQ8030 features Shimadzu’s UFsweeper® technology which minimizes col-lision cell length while providing high-CID efficiency and high ion transport speed. UF-sweeper® accelerates ions out of the collision cell without any drop in signal intensity or cross talk, even at ultra-fast measurement speeds.
The system comes equipped with Advanced Scanning Speed Protocol (ASSP™), a patented Shimadzu technology that optimizes ion transmission parameters at fast scan speeds. The Ecology mode reduces power consumption by 26 percent and carbon diox-ide emissions by approx. 1.1 tons, and decreases the consumption of carrier gas.

Emerging Trends and Challenges in Detecting Residues and Contaminants in Food in the Exposome Era
June 18th 2025This article describes the analytical challenges of chemical exposomics in food safety. The need for high-throughput, multi-platform approaches—such as LC–HRMS and GC–HRMS with IMS—to capture the full spectrum of potential contaminants in our food supply is emphasised.
New Research Explores Role of Nucleotide Hydrophobicity in Oligonucleotide Separation
June 18th 2025Researchers from Waters and Biospring studied the contribution of nucleotide type and modifications on the retention and resolution of 22–24 nt long oligonucleotides in different chromatographic methods.
A Life Measured in Peaks: Honoring Alan George Marshall (1944–2025)
June 18th 2025A pioneer of FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry, Alan G. Marshall (1944–2025), is best known for co-inventing Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), a transformative technique that enabled ultrahigh-resolution analysis of complex mixtures. Over a career spanning more than five decades at institutions like the University of British Columbia, The Ohio State University, and Florida State University, he published over 650 peer-reviewed papers and mentored more than 150 scientists. Marshall’s work profoundly impacted fields ranging from astrobiology to petroleomics and earned him numerous prestigious awards and fellowships. Revered for his intellect, mentorship, and dedication to science, he leaves behind a legacy that continues to shape modern mass spectrometry.
