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.
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 pat-ented 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.

Identifying Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Originating from Breath with TD-GC–MS
September 12th 2024Researchers built a reliable breath collection and analysis method using thermo-desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC–MS) that can produce a comprehensive list of known volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the breath of a heterogeneous human population.
Two-Dimensional Supercritical Fluid Chromatography System Created with Multiple Heart-Cutting Modes
September 11th 2024Université d’Orleans and Chromisa Scientific scientists recently created a two-dimensional supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) system with multiple heart-cutting (MHC) modes.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Reliable Separation and Efficient Group-type Quantitation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs)
September 11th 2024Petroleum contamination from leaking underground storage tanks, for example, is a significant concern for both the environment and human health. Thorough characterization of the contamination is required to form appropriate risk assessments and remediation strategies, but until now, the determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in soil has typically involved a convoluted and labour-intensive process. In this article, the analysis of TPH in environmental media is simplified using flow-modulated GC×GC–FID with quantitation based on pre-defined compound groupings. This approach overcomes the drawbacks of conventional solvent fractionation approaches, by eliminating the need for sample fractionation and automating data processing workflows.
