Description
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC-MS/MS with TSQ 8000 Triple Quad and TriPlus 300 Headspace Autosampler
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC-MS/MS with TSQ 8000 Triple Quad and TriPlus 300 Headspace Autosampler is a fully automated analytical platform designed for highly sensitive identification and quantitation of volatile and semi-volatile compounds. Combining advanced gas chromatography, tandem mass spectrometry, and automated headspace sampling, this configuration provides a complete workflow for laboratories requiring trace-level detection, high sample throughput, and reproducible quantitative results.
The TRACE 1310 Gas Chromatograph is equipped with a split/splitless inlet, providing flexibility for a broad range of sample concentrations and analytical methods. The GC is paired with the TSQ 8000 Triple Quad Mass Spectrometer, which utilizes tandem quadrupole technology to improve selectivity and sensitivity through targeted MS/MS acquisition methods. This configuration is particularly beneficial for complex sample matrices where interference reduction and low-level compound quantitation are critical.
Sample introduction is automated using the TriPlus 300 Master Static Headspace Autosampler, which performs vial incubation, pressurization, and sample transfer with minimal operator intervention. Automated headspace analysis improves reproducibility while reducing the risk of contamination associated with manual sample handling. This capability is especially valuable for residual solvent testing, volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis, flavor and fragrance studies, and environmental monitoring applications.
The system is commonly used in pharmaceutical quality control, environmental laboratories, petrochemical testing facilities, forensic laboratories, food safety programs, and research institutions. Typical analytical applications include residual solvent determination, pesticide screening, VOC monitoring, contaminant identification, extractables and leachable studies, and quantitative GC-MS/MS method development.
