Quadrupole Time-of-Flight GC/MS, Mass Screening GC/Q-TOF (2024)

Quadrupole Time-of-Flight GC/MS, Mass Screening GC/Q-TOF (1)

The 7250 GC/Q-TOF - High Resolution Accurate Mass (HRAM) GCMS

The Agilent 7250 GC/Q-TOF system delivers full-spectrum, high-resolution, accurate mass data with a wide dynamic range for identifying and quantifying GC-amenable compounds. This high-resolution GC/Q-TOF enables accurate mass screening by GC/MS and enhanced compound identification through MS/MS, low-energy electron ionization, and complimentary chemical ionization techniques.

Whether it is used in complex metabolomics studies, pesticide screening in challenging matrices, or compound identification in herbal extracts, quadrupole time-of-flight GC/MS provides the ultimate in performance. Designed for real-world analysis and built for laboratory robustness, this accurate mass screening GC/MS delivers consistent confidence in results, allowing you to see the whole picture.

Product Details

Features

  • Identifies compounds through high-resolution, accurate-mass data and sensitive detection
  • Quantifies analytes accurately across a wide dynamic range, without compromising spectral quality
  • Simplifies ambiguous data with low-energy EI for softer ionization and molecular ion enhancement (application specific)
  • Supports complimentary data types with available chemical ionization for both positive and negative mode analyses
  • Increases confidence in compound detection with highly efficient ionization and MassHunter SureMass algorithm for accurate and sensitive extraction of library-quality compound spectra for high match scores
  • Enhances compound identification with spectral fidelity for trustworthy library matching and isotopic fidelity for generating verifiable chemical formulas
  • Detects trace-level target compounds in the presence of more abundant matrix compounds with a wide in-spectrum dynamic range
  • Elucidates chemical structures with MS/MS capabilities and Molecular Structure Correlator software that reveals greater detail
  • Ensures excellent data quality even for narrow chromatographic peaks in high-throughput workflows with data acquisition rates of up to 50 spectra per second
  • Performs screening, profiling, discovery workflows, and more, using comprehensive MassHunter software
  • The built-in intelligence of the 8890 GC drives productivity with diagnostics and monitoring, and simplified access to powerful operations through the integrated touchscreen and browser interface
