Product news

Shimadzu introduces the new GCMS-QP2010 SE, completing the new quadrupole series together with the GCMSQP2010 Ultra. A variation of the Ultra model, the SE version focusses on high productivity features with an exceptionally good price/performance ratio. This makes it an ideal tool for routine analysis in laboratories covering different application areas e.g. environmental analysis or quality control.

Various options for different applications
A multitude of accessories supports the flexible use of the GCMSQP2010 SE. These either extend the variety of applications or help to streamline processes in order to save time:
• The optional Direct Inlet allows analysis of compounds with lower volatility
• For analysis of compounds of even higher molecular mass (e.g. polymers, paints, woods and resins) an optional pyrolyzer system is available (Py-2020, Frontier lab).
• The TD-20 thermal desorption system specializes in working with very volatile compounds, e.g. for air monitoring
• The AOC-20 autosampler enables programming of a two-step derivatization method eliminating the need for a tedious derivatization process in the lab, e.g. for clinical applications.
• The temperature programmable Optic 3 injector (Atas GL) with its rapid heating characteristic is the choice for applications in flavor and fragrance analysis.
• Using a “double jet cooling system” the GC-2010 Plus oven in the GCMS-QP2010 SE is cooled down rapidly, e.g. in 2.7 minutes from 350 °C to 50 °C. This significantly reduces
analysis time, particularly in applications analyzing VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
• The Shimadzu Easy sTop Quick changer system even changes septum and liner without breaking the vacuum, thereby saving valuable time.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
