Description
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC-MS/MS with TSQ Duo Triple Quad
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC-MS/MS with TSQ Duo Triple Quad is a powerful analytical platform designed for precise identification and quantification of trace-level compounds in complex sample matrices. By combining advanced gas chromatography separation with highly selective triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, this system delivers exceptional sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility across demanding laboratory workflows.
The TRACE 1310 gas chromatograph provides reliable temperature control and consistent injection performance, enabling reproducible separation of volatile and semi-volatile compounds. When coupled with the TSQ Duo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, the system supports highly selective analysis through Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM), allowing confident detection of target analytes even in challenging backgrounds.
This configuration is optimized for laboratories requiring low detection limits and high analytical precision. The triple quadrupole architecture enhances selectivity by filtering specific ion transitions, reducing noise and improving quantitative accuracy in trace analysis applications.
Designed for continuous operation, the system supports high-throughput workflows and automated sample analysis, making it well suited for routine testing as well as advanced research environments. Its robust performance and sensitivity make it a valuable tool for laboratories focused on regulatory compliance, quality assurance, and complex chemical analysis.
This system is ideal for applications in environmental monitoring, food safety testing, pharmaceutical analysis, and forensic science where reliable detection and quantitation of low-level compounds are critical.
