Innovate technology to improve analysis accuracy and significantly increase sample flux

GCMS-TQ8040 NX combines two innovative technologies to achieve high sensitivity and accuracy in analyzing over 400 compounds simultaneously. The first innovative technology is the use of new firmware to improve data collection efficiency, supporting up to 32768 MRM channels in a single analysis. The second innovative technology is to embed the "Smart MRM" method creation function in GCMS-TQ8040 software, which automatically optimizes the acquisition time of each component. For the target component, data collection is only carried out during its peak period, significantly improving the collection efficiency per unit time. The GCMS-TQ8040 NX excels in obtaining high sensitivity when analyzing multiple components simultaneously.

In the past, simultaneous analysis of over 400 pesticide components required setting up two or three different methods, but GCMS-TQ8040 NX can handle simultaneous analysis of such multiple components in one method, reducing the number of analysis cycles and improving analysis efficiency.

The dual column system significantly reduces the replacement time of chromatographic columns

GCMS-TQ8040 NX can simultaneously install two narrow bore capillary chromatography columns, allowing for quick conversion between different columns without releasing vacuum. It is beneficial to quickly determine the suitable chromatographic column and injection port for analysis.

CID gas can be directly set through method parameters, and the instrument can achieve fully automatic control of CID gas between GC-MS and GC-MS/MS methods in the same batch processing file, without the need for manual operation. Through a dual column MS system, SIM determination of VOCs and MRM determination of pesticide residues can be achieved in a batch analysis without the need for vacuum release.

Run both SQ and TQ methods simultaneously in a single batch file.

Smart MRMAutomatically create analysis methods.

Whether starting from the parameter establishment of a completely new target object or starting from the Smart MRM database, the Smart MRM function helps you establish methods with maximum automation.

Patent high brightness ion source

Install a shielding plate between the filament and the ion source box to reduce the impact of filament potential on the interior of the ion source. In addition, shielding the radiation heat generated by the filament to avoid the formation of active sites inside the ion source ensures higher sensitivity analysis. (Patent number: US7939810）

Off axis design (noise cancellation technology)

Off axis design effectively suppresses noise, eliminates metastable states and neutral ions, and achieves higher sensitivity (patent application pending). The CID collision pool uses argon gas as the collision gas, without the need for helium buffer gas.

Advanced Scanning Speed Protocol (ASSP) ™

The scanning speed is up to 20000 amu/s, automatically optimizing the bias voltage of the quadrupole during high-speed scanning, ensuring data sensitivity and mass spectrometry accuracy during high-speed scanning. ASSP technology is crucial when scanning multiple acquisition modes simultaneously, such as Scan/MRM scanning. (Patent: US6610979）

Sensitivity and reproducibility based on single quadrupole GC/MS method

A high-sensitivity ion source is the foundation for improving sample ionization and ion transport efficiency. Shimadzu's patented high brightness ion source technology, rear quadrupole technology, and unique off-axis design of the quadrupole ensure excellent sensitivity and reproducibility of the instrument. Not only in MRM determination by GC-MS/MS, but also in Scan and SIM determination by GCMS, and even in the most demanding analysis of highly active compounds, GCMS-TQ8040 can easily handle it.
