The Shimadzu GCMS-TQ8040 is the first triple quadrupole with 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. These 3 smart technologies contribute to Smart MRM, and provide the most accurate, cost effective, and easy-to-use triple quadrupole GCMS you have ever imagined. Smart Productivity This new firmware protocol enables MRM analysis with up to 32,768 transitions in a single analysis. A simultaneous analysis can be performed with a conventionally difficult number of components, dramatically increasing productivity. Smart Operation GC-MS/MS analysis requires multiple settings that can be confusing to the average operator. With Smart MRM, the GCMS-TQ8040 software sets the analytical conditions automatically, making method development painless, fast, and easy. Smart Performance The exceptionally efficient ion source and collision cell provide low detection limits. High speed scanning control (Advanced Scanning Speed Protocol, or ASSP) and simultaneous Scan/MRM analysis mode provides high quality library searchable fragmentation spectra, and accurate low-level quantitative data in a single analysis.
