LUCIDITY MINI GC, Gas Chromatograph-flame ionization detector (GC-FID)

LUCIDITY MINI GC, Gas Chromatograph-flame ionization detector (GC-FID)

GC-FID. With the smallest oven of any fully functional GC on the market, the miniGC can ramp all the way to 400C at 60C/min and can cool from 400C to 50C in 5 minutes, meaning it heats faster and cools faster than any of the traditional GCs. This allows for much faster analysis times and much less down time between runs.

Agilent 7890B GC/5977B Inert Plus MSD, GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler Robotic, GERSTEL Thermal Desorption Unit (TDU)

Agilent 7890B GC/5977B Inert Plus MSD, GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler Robotic, GERSTEL Thermal Desorption Unit (TDU)

-Gas-chromatograph hyphenated to a single quadrupole mass spectrometer. - The GERSTEL Robotic autosampler enables automation of sample introduction, that can be performed by liquid injection, static headspace (HS) and soliphase microextraction (SPME). - The use of the TDU module enables the use of Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE) using the GERSTEL Twister®, thermal desorption of adsorbent tubes used for air sampling, thermal extraction of solid samples placed in fritted TDU tubes, thermal extraction of liquids placed in µ-vials inside the TDU and desorption of thin-film microextraction devices (aka TFME or TF-SPME)

ThermoScientific™  Vanquish™ Flex Binary UHPLC system and Thermo Scientific™ LTQ XL™ Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer

a.k.a. Phoenix

ThermoScientific™ Vanquish™ Flex Binary UHPLC system and Thermo Scientific™ LTQ XL™ Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer

UPLC - LTQ XL ion trap MS. - Pulsed Q dissociation (PQD) for generating more fragments and extending the low mass range. - High-resolution isolation (HRI) enables isolation of isobaric mass peaks for cleaner MSn spectra. - Ultra-fast polarity switching for high sensitivity analysis of unknowns. - Metabolite identification and quantification. - Biomarker studies and PTM identification.
