High-End Single Quadrupole Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer Released

Shimadzu has released its GCMS-QP2020 high-end single quadrupole gas chromatograph mass spectrometer. With excellent performance and smart operability, the instrument satisfies a wide range of needs for single quadrupole GC-MS systems. The GCMS-QP2020 achieves the highest sensitivity in its class and enables high-speed performance for many applications.

The new turbomolecular pump with improved exhaust efficiency provides higher accu­racy in analysis, even when hydrogen or nitrogen in addition to helium is applied as the carrier gas. The GCMS-QP2020 also features a function enabling switching of ionisation modes without stopping the mass spectrometer as well as ultra-fast scan performance, which allows the use of various analytical conditions. The GCMS-QP2020 with Shimadzu's many specialised databases and application software enables configura­tions tailored to a multitude of applications and purposes.

The GCMS-QP2020 provides not only high-sensitivity and high-speed performance, but can also be used for a wide range of applications with enhanced, specialised databases designed for specific purposes, including the testing/inspection of food, pharmaceuti­cal, chemical as well as the environmental applications.

Beyond the GCMS-QP2020, Shimadzu offers the entry model GCMS-QP2010 SE and the flagship GCMS-TQ8040 triple quadrupole model to satisfy all types of laboratory re­quirements.
