The new GCMS-QP2010 is a quadrupole mass spectrometer which satisfies the highest demands in terms of sensitivity, flexibility and reliability.

Maximum Sensitivity
The GCMS-QP2010 features newly designed ion optics and an electron multiplier with conversion dynode detector system including the new overdrive lens (patent pending) for noise reduction. Together with the differentially pumped vacuum system (260 x 65 l/sec) and two-stage quadrupole with pre-rods, unmatched sensitivity is reached

• Scan mode 1 pg S/N > 60 (RMS) for OFN m/z 272
• SIM mode 100 fg S/N > 60 (RMS) for OFN m/z 272

For highest sensitivity of target compounds and easy identification of unknowns in the same run, Scan and SIM can be set in one method file.

Ultimate Flexibility
With the newly designed ion source not only maximum sensitivity can be reached but it also offers highest flexibility in method development. All parameters can be set individually for every sample by the separately heated ion source with its variable ionization energy and current. The large mass range of the quadrupole (1.5 to 1024) gives flexibility for a wide range of samples, important also especially for the analysis of Brominated Flame Retardants (PBDE´s). In the GCMS-QP2010 all column types can be installed directly, from narrow-bore for Fast-GCMS to wide-bore columns for gas analysis.

Reliability
The newly designed injection systems for the new GC-2010 and the mass stability of the QP2010 lead to highest reproducibility of your data. Quality and reliability of the results is assured by the GCMSsolution Ver.2 Software. It offers System check and QA/QC functions that make it easy to work in a GLP/GMP environment as well as Audit trail functions and pass word protected user level assignments.

Shimadzu’s completely redesigned GCMS-QP2010 provides ion-trap level sensitivity (S/N ratio 1pg OFN of >80), together with the security of full-scan library spectrum identification. With a wide mass range of 1.5-1024, scan rates of 50 scans/s at a blistering 10,000amu/s speed and the integral GC-2010, the QP2010 is totally configured for modern fast-GCMS analyses. Redesigned ion sources (including a combination EI/CI/NCI source) allow fast & easy maintenance without compromising on sensitivity. Whatever your GCMS requirements, the GCMS-QP2010 will exceed them.
