Person Portable Gas Chromatograph

Torion Technologies Inc displayed the new TRIDION™-9, reportedly the world’s fastest and most portable capillary gas chromatograph – toroidal ion trap mass spectrometer (GC-TMS). Features include a low thermal mass capillary gas chromatograph (GC) with high speed temperature programming (>2 ºC/sec) and a miniature toroidal ion trap mass spectrometer (TMS) with a nominal unit mass resolution over a mass range of 50 to 500 Daltons.

The self-contained system weighs less than 32 pounds with all accessories, is battery (24 V) operated, has an on-board helium GC carrier gas supply cartridge (2500 psig, 90cc), and is person portable. The TRIDION-9 GC-TMS features electronic pressure control (EPC) of the helium GC carrier gas and an on-board rechargeable battery system for renewable power.

With samples introduced using Torion’s CUSTODION®SPME syringes, targets analytes in air, headspace, liquid or dissolved solid samples are rapidly trapped on the active coated surface of the SPME fibre, which is mounted in an easy-to-operate injection moulded syringe. Step-by-step
sample injection instructions are provided via the system’s 7” LCD colour touchscreen and graphical user interface (GUI).

The TRIDION-9’s on-board firmware controls all GC and TMS system operations automatically without user intervention.

Torion‘s PC-based operating CHROMION™ software enables the user to edit the GCTMS method parameters, calibrate the instrument, and develop target analyte libraries for automated
detection and identification of targeted chemical compounds based on their characteristic retention times and mass spectra.
