High Performance Single and Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry to Gas Chromatographers

Oct 18 2011

Bruker has announced the release the SCION TQ™ triple quadrupole and the SCION SQ™ single quadrupole mass spectrometers for gas chromatography (GC) detection. Designed especially to enhance data quality and productivity for analysts working in routine testing and applied markets, these systems combine performance and value like never before in GC-MS. The SCION GC-MS platform offers revolutionary performance and ease of use, particularly for the food safety and environment monitoring communities, and represent an innovation leap in GC-MS technology.

The SCION series features the industry’s first ion ‘lens-free’ technology, which makes these systems very easy to use, regardless of the level of mass spectrometry experience of the operator. The new SCION series is also significantly more sensitive and robust than previous GC-MS instruments, and comes in a very compact bench space saving footprint that is far smaller than for conventional GC-triple quadrupole MS systems.

The advanced axial source design, combined with the unique ‘lens-free’ ion path also significantly enhances the overall robustness of the SCION series. The SCION TQ also incorporates a 180-degree collision cell design for a dramatically smaller instrument footprint; a critical need in emerging markets and for anyone choosing to upgrade their GC-MS technology.

Further enhancing the exceptional performance and value of the SCION TQ is Bruker’s innovative and unique Compound Based Scanning (CBS) technology. Ideal for the automation and optimisation of quantitative analytical methods, CBS allows users to achieve high levels of sensitivity and quantitative precision while greatly reducing methods development and instrument set up time. By simply selecting the compounds from the compound library to add to the method editor, the unique CBS technology and expert software automatically sets up optimised MRM transmissions, and calculates the optimum cycle time, at a fraction of the workload for the method’s developer.

The SCION SQ has been designed for extensive routine usage and shares many of the design innovations of the SCION TQ. This includes a plugand- play source for simple maintenance, or easy conversion from EI to CI operation. The new axial flow source improves systems performance, and lengthens the time between maintenance, even
when handling today’s challenging matrices.
