Development of Robust LC, GC & ICP-MS Methods for Detection of Low Concentration Water Contaminants

The Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ GC system is the first-ever combination of high resolution gas chromatography with high-resolution/accurate-mass (HR/AM) Orbitrap detection for the most comprehensive sample characterization. This easy-to-use system provides the most comprehensive characterization of samples in a single analysis for the highest confidence in compound discovery, identification, and quantitation. Building upon the flexible modularity of the Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1300 Series GC, including user-exchangeable injectors and detectors, the Q Exactive GC system has the quantitative power of a GC triple quadrupole MS combined with the high precision, full scan high-resolution/accurate-mass capability that only Orbitrap technology can offer.   Key Features: Advanced quadrupole technology (AQT) for high transmission of selected masses Resolving power up to 120,000 at m/z 200 Part-per-trillion-level sensitivity Thermo Scientific™ Extractabrite™ ion source for robust, rugged electron impact (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) performance Curved linear C-trap for precise ion injection HCD collision cell for higher energy collisional dissociation provides MS/MS ion characterization Intelligent identification software elucidates the nature of each injected sample. Applications: Untargeted and targeted metabolomics Food and beverage Industrial analyses Environmental Pharmaceutical Clinical and toxicology
