Review Date: 28 Mar 2024 | Shimadzu Corporation

This equipment complies but is not all right for low concentrations of some analytes

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

SVOCs analysis in air matrixes

Is really easy to go through the menus and prepare methods up, but the offline software is more difficult to get use to. Also, main limitation is that LOD is not as low as other equipments for the same analysis.

Save time with the greatest precision

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Analyze Food and Environmental Samples

Considering the analyses that can be done in a short period of time, it is worth buying.

Featuring Smart Productivity for high-efficiency sample throughput, Smart Operation for quick and easy method development, and Smart Performance for low detection limits and Scan/MRM, the GCMS-TQ8040 NX is a cost-effective, easy-to-use triple quadrupole GCMS for routine analytical work.

With over 32,000 MRM transitions in a single run, the GCMS-TQ8040 NX with Smart MRM can combine over 400 compounds into a single MRM method without sacrificing sensitivity or selectivity, doubling or even tripling laboratory productivity. This results in added throughput before routine maintenance is required and faster return on investment.

The Shimadzu GCMS-TQ8040 NX MRM Optimization Tool automatically determines optimum transitions and collision energies for all compounds in a single sequence, and seamlessly incorporates them into the Smart Database Series for fully automated MRM method development. Using flexible MS events, the Smart MRM function routinely determines the best dwell and loop times for >400 compounds in a single method, providing optimum precision and sensitivity.

The GCMS-TQ8040 NX can acquire data in the classic MRM mode, or in synchronous Scan/MRM mode for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative results. The Scan/MRM mode simultaneously acquires accurate library-searchable mass spectra and low-level MRM quantitation in a single analysis – a critical function when sample volume is limited.

Shimadzu’s proprietary UFsweeper™ technology achieves high-speed MRM analysis up to 800 transitions per second. The Advanced Scanning Speed Protocol (ASSP™) provides high-speed scanning control at 20,000 u/second. ASSP and simultaneous Scan/MRM analysis mode provides high-quality library searchable fragmentation spectra, and accurate low-level quantitative data in a single analysis.

This efficient design provides optimum performance in all analysis modes: MRM, SIM, Scan, Scan/MRM, Scan/SIM, Neutral Loss, Product Ion Scan, Precursor Ion Scan and combination modes.

Application NoteSeparations

Metabolomic differential analysis of gene-mutated Drosophila using LC/MS and GC/MS

In this application note, Shimadzu presents examples of analyses to compare wild and genetically mutated Drosophila and analyze differences in metabolites. Long-lived gene mutations were generated in Drosophila yellow, and metabolites in wild and mutant Drosophila were measured by liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LCMS-8060NX) and gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS-TQ™ 8040 NX).

Speeding up forensics with advanced spectroscopy tools

Dr. Tom Spudich, Professor of Analytical Chemistry, discusses the advanced techniques like UV-Vis spectroscopy, GC-MS, FTIR with ATR, and ICP-OES that are transforming forensic science workflows. Hear how these methods have been instrumental in projects that range from preserving historic documents through metal content analysis to detecting beverage adulterants like 1,4-butanediol, a GHB precursor. Spudich shares how faster, more sensitive analytical tools, are enabling his team to analysis time from hours to just 15 minutes, boosting efficiency and sample throughput. With smarter instrumentation, forensic analysis is becoming faster, more selective, and more accessible than ever before.
