Pegasus Combines Industry Standard GC with High Resolution TOFMS

The Pegasus GC-HRT 4D combines the industry standard for GCxGC with the highest performance time-of-flight mass spectrometer on the market. While meeting RoHS compliance regulations, comprehensive GC-MS provides scientists with the unprecedented ability to investigate complex samples and identify unknown analytes with the ultimate confidence.

“This product has gained significant traction in the marketplace, we continue to expand our capabilities and our customers are very pleased with the results they are obtaining,” says Lorne Fell, PhD, Separation Science Product Manager. “We have built upon our years of GCxGC experience to deliver an appropriate balance of familiar and innovative new features. As we gain traction in our key markets—metabolomics, petroleum, and environmental—based on this novel combination our customers are discovering what other analytes are in their samples instead of playing a chemical guessing game.”

These advances in technology are paired with LECO’s ChromaTOF-HRT® brand software with High Resolution Deconvolution® (HRD®), which is tailored to get the most out of high resolution data using NIST and Accurate Mass Libraries. Work flows enabled by features such as pseudo-molecular ions via Chemical Ionization, retention time matching, isotope patterns, and mass accuracy of deconvoluted fragments all lead to confident identification of unknown species. With mass accuracies of 1 ppm and chromatographic peak capacity at least two times greater than any available elsewhere in the marketplace, the Pegasus GC-HRT 4D is the solution to winning the fight against coelution and comprehensively characterizing even the most complex samples.
