Description
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC-MS/MS with TSQ Duo Triple Quad and 1310 AI/AS Autosampler
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC-MS/MS with TSQ Duo Triple Quad and 1310 AI/AS Autosampler is an integrated gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry platform designed for laboratories requiring reliable compound identification and highly selective quantitative analysis. Combining the TRACE 1310 Gas Chromatograph with a TSQ Duo Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, the system provides enhanced sensitivity and specificity for complex sample matrices where trace-level detection is critical.
The TRACE 1310 GC is configured with a split/splitless inlet and Thermo 1310 AI/AS Autosampler for automated sample introduction and consistent injection reproducibility. The TSQ Duo utilizes tandem quadrupole technology to perform selective reaction monitoring (SRM/MRM), allowing improved quantitative accuracy while minimizing interference from co-eluting compounds.
This configuration is commonly used for pesticide residue analysis, residual solvent determination, environmental contaminant monitoring, food safety testing, petrochemical characterization, forensic toxicology, and pharmaceutical quality control applications. The combination of automated sample introduction and triple quadrupole detection provides an efficient workflow for laboratories performing routine quantitative GC-MS/MS analysis.
