Product news

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announces the launch of the Thermo Scientific ISQ single quadrupole gas chromatography mass spectrometry system (GC-MS) at Analytica 2010, expanding the company’s line of chromatography instruments and consumables.

As an integrated workflow, the Thermo Scientific portfolio of chromatography instruments and consumables delivers improved performance, accuracy, sensitivity and increased productivity from sample preparation to final detection and quantitation. The new products are designed for analytical testing in applications where performance, robustness and lower lifecycle costs are critical. The company will showcase its combination of chromatography innovations at Thermo Scientific booth 101 in Hall B1 during Analytica 2010, being held March 23 - 26, in Munich, Germany.

The Thermo Scientific ISQ single quadrupole GC-MS provides simplified operation and minimum downtime for uninterrupted productivity in routine GC-MS applications including forensics, toxicology, food safety and environmental. A highly robust and rugged system, the ISQ GC-MS features the new ExtractaBrite™ removable ion source designed to provide maximum uptime and productivity by increasing the length of time between required source maintenance. In addition, the ISQ GC-MS offers the ability to remove the entire ion source without venting the analyzer to allow 24/7 operation.

Also highlighted at Analytica 2010 is the Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum XLS, which offers precision, sensitivity and productivity in a variety of applications including forensics, food safety, environmental

and general industrial. Featuring the new DuraBrite™ IRIS high-sensitivity ion source, the TSQ Quantum XLS™ delivers ion source inertness, sensitivity in the low femtogram range and higher quantitative precision at trace levels, bolstering its leading position in performance and stability. The Quantum XLS is designed to increase productivity in the lab by combining its high-precision hyperbolic quadrupole rod analyzer with high-speed data acquisition and a significant upgrade in software.

The ultra-low bleed Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD GC capillary columns provide outstanding run-to-run and column-to-column reproducibility for data consistency and extended column life. The columns are extremely inert, ensuring that peak shapes are obtained, even for highly active or difficult compounds that often cause peak tailing. Reduced column bleed minimizes the risk of contamination of the mass spectrometer while extending the interval between scheduled maintenance. High sensitivity levels are obtained with low baseline noise, resulting in improved limits of detection and enhanced resolution for low-level analytes.

The new Thermo Scientific Accela 1250 pump dramatically improves separation for complex mixtures during ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (U-HPLC) analysis. The quaternary pump features Force Feedback Control (FFC) to eliminate the need for pulse dampening while improving flow accuracy and gradient precision under extreme operating conditions. The Accela 1250 pump operates at a top pressure of 1250 bar with flow rates of up to 2mL/min, designed to reduce run times and improve productivity.

In addititon, new low-particulate National Scientific mass spec certified, pre-cleaned chromatography vials are produced under strict quality control protocols for uniformity. The chromatography vials are cleaned and tested in a GMP-compliant, fully validated cleanroom environment to prevent contamination. Each lot is tested for particle counts, as well as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) background, to ensure that each vial provides consistently high performance.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC equipment in our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Ion ChromatographyIon chromatography, also known as ion exchange chromatography, is a high-performance liquid chromatographic technique used for the separation and identification of ions or polar molecules in a sample, including proteins, nucleotides and amino acids. Equipment includes ion exchange columns, ion exclusion columns, ion chromatography systems, pumps, and detectors. Find the best ion chromatography equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
