"The ITQ 1100 GC/MS is a versatile instrument that gives great value for the cost. The ease of switching from Electrical Ionization (EI) to Chemical Ionization (CI) modes without breaking vacuum is a vast improvement over previous GC/MS generations. The one down side being the extended time to bring the new ion volume to stability (2-3 days) within the source rather than the quick switch and operate as advertised. The optional Direct Insertion (DIP) and Direct Exposure Probes give the ability to study samples that are unable to be processed using traditional chromatographic methods. Overall, I have found the instrument to be rugged for many student users and requiring a relatively low amount of maintenance."

ITQ™ Series GC-Ion Trap MS Systems Features:
- External Ionization Ion Source:
- Standard on all ITQ systems with independently controlled heating from 125° to 300°C for stable operation and excellent chromatographic integrity
- Enhanced spectral integrity when ionization takes place external to the trap, so the system stays cleaner, longer for improved uptime and longer periods between cleaning - Quadrupole Ion Trap Mass Analyzer:
- Unit mass resolution throughout the mass range
- Durable inert materials for long life
- Automatic gain control ensures that the ion trap is always filled with the optimum number of ions - Detection System:
- Digital electronic noise discrimination enhances sensitivity
- Post-acceleration +10kV conversion dynode offers efficient positive and negative ion detection - Configurations Available for ITQ Series:
- Direct Sample Probe
- Directly analyze solids or liquids without chromatographic separation and without moving the GC by using the Direct Sample Probe - Chemical Ionization:
- Optional chemical ionization increases selectivity and sensitivity
- Both positive and negative chemical ionization modes supported; digital reagent gas flow control ensures method stability and reproducibility - Features Standard on the ITQ 1100 GC-Ion Trap MS; Optional for the ITQ 700 GC-Ion Trap MS; and ITQ 900 GC-Ion Trap MS:
- MSn with ACE and PQD
- Capability to routinely test for compounds in the matrix that cannot typically be detected with other GC/MS techniques
- Automated Collision Energy (ACE): Sutomatically calculates an estimated optimal collision energy based on product ion m/z and damping gas flow rates; runs at three energies across each scan
- Pulsed Q Dissociation Mode (PQD): Generates information-rich mass spectral data, even in the low mass range; produces precise, reproducible fragmentation - Vacuum Probe Interlock:
- Restore system performance, change from EI to Cl or use the direct sample probe—all without venting the instrument using the Vacuum Probe Interlock
