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.

Evaluating Natural Preservatives for Meat Products with Gas and Liquid Chromatography
April 1st 2025A study in Food Science & Nutrition evaluated the antioxidant and preservative effects of Epilobium angustifolium extract on beef burgers, finding that the extract influenced physicochemical properties, color stability, and lipid oxidation, with higher concentrations showing a prooxidant effect.
