Description
Thermo TRACE 1310 GC‑MS/MS System with TSQ 8000 Triple Quad & 1310 AI/AS Autosampler Overview
The Thermo TRACE 1310 GC‑MS/MS system, configured with the TSQ 8000 Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer and 1310 AI/AS autosampler, is a high-performance analytical platform engineered for precise, ultra-trace chemical analysis in demanding laboratory environments. This integrated system combines advanced Gas Vhromatographic separation with highly sensitive tandem mass spectrometry detection, enabling exceptional selectivity, accuracy, and reproducibility across complex sample matrices. The TSQ 8000’s triple quadrupole architecture supports targeted quantitation using SRM/MRM, significantly reducing background interference while achieving sub‑ppb detection limits for trace-level compounds. The TRACE 1310 GC is designed for flexibility and consistency, featuring a modular architecture, fast oven temperature programming, and electronic pneumatic control (EPC) for precise gas flow management. These capabilities ensure stable retention times and reliable performance across extended analytical runs.
This GC‑MS/MS configuration is well-suited for a broad spectrum of applications, including pesticide residue analysis, environmental contaminant monitoring, food safety testing, pharmaceutical impurity profiling, forensic toxicology, and petrochemical characterization. Its combination of sensitivity, robustness, and automation makes it an ideal solution for laboratories requiring reliable quantitative results, operational efficiency, and compliance with stringent regulatory methods.
