So Smart it almost runs itself!

Improving precision and throughput, Shimadzu’s new GCMS-TQ8040 is the most accurate, cost effective, easy-to-use triple quadrupole GCMS ever. The system combines Ultra-Fast Mass Spectrometry (UFMS) and Smart Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) based on Shimadzu's patented UFsweeper^™ technology. Smart MRM streamlines the entire process of adjusting the loop and dwell times for optimum sensitivity, and methods are created with the touch of a button.

Through smart technologies, the triple quadrupole GCMS provides a new level in routine work:

• Smart Productivity is the key to simultaneous multi-component analysis, high efficiency and sample throughput. UFMS in the Multiple Reaction Monitoring mode can acquire up to 32,000 transitions in a single analysis. Smart MRM technology adjusts the analytical dwell time automatically for each transition to fully optimise sensitivity and data quality.

• Smart Operation facilitates rapid and easy method development. Tools, software and functions optimise the operation of the system, e.g. a smart database of related compounds (pesticides, drugs etc.), and the GCMS solution operation software featuring Automatic Adjustment of Compound Retention Time (AART).

• Smart Performance enables Scan/MRM for low detection limits and simultaneous target compound confirmation. Shimadzu's proprietary UFsweeper™ technology achieves high-speed MRM analysis and provides high-efficiency CID and fast ion transport. Rapid ion removal minimises cross-talk and enables trace analysis. The high-efficiency ion source supplies maximum possible sensitivity and repeatability.

The GCMS-TQ8040 has an eco-friendly design resulting in reduced power consumption and lower running costs. If ecology mode is used over one year of operation*, power consumption can be reduced by 26% and CO₂ emissions can be reduced by approx. 1.1 tons.

* This is based on six hours of use per day for 260 days under our standard analytical conditions.
