Description
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC-MS/MS with TSQ Duo Triple Quad and TriPlus 300 Headspace Autosampler
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC-MS/MS with TSQ Duo Triple Quad and TriPlus 300 Headspace Autosampler System is an integrated analytical platform designed for high-sensitivity analysis of volatile and semi-volatile compounds. Combining gas chromatography, triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, and automated headspace sampling, the system supports both routine quantitative testing and advanced trace-level investigations across a wide range of laboratory environments.
The TRACE 1310 Gas Chromatograph utilizes a split/splitless inlet configuration for flexible method development and efficient sample introduction. Detection is performed by the TSQ Duo Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer, enabling targeted MS/MS workflows with enhanced selectivity and quantitative accuracy. The tandem quadrupole configuration helps reduce matrix interference while improving confidence in compound identification and confirmation.
The TriPlus 300 Master SHS Headspace Autosampler adds automated vial incubation, pressurization, and sample introduction for volatile compound analysis. By automating headspace workflows, the system improves reproducibility, increases sample throughput, and minimizes the variability associated with manual handling.
This configuration is commonly used for residual solvent analysis, VOC testing, environmental monitoring, food and beverage quality control, forensic toxicology, petrochemical characterization, and pharmaceutical impurity testing. The combination of triple quadrupole detection and headspace automation makes the platform particularly well suited for laboratories requiring reliable quantitative performance and consistent sample processing.
