Maximize Productivity and Minimize Cost-per-Sample

In today’s drug testing, toxicology, and forensic labs, accelerated turn-around time and minimum cost per sample are vital for achieving critical productivity goals. For almost 40 years, Thermo Fisher Scientific has been developing solutions to provide busy laboratories with increased productivity.

By giving you the tools to analyze higher numbers of samples than ever before, Thermo Fisher Scientific tries to maintain the quality of your chemical and trace analyses.

Thermo Scientific GC and GC/MS Capabilities

TRACE GC Ultra
The Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra™ is designed to dramatically decrease sample run times in fast-paced laboratories. Featuring configurations, such as UltraFast with a linear heating rate of up to 1200 °C per minute, and large volume injection techniques, the TRACE GC Ultra is an ideal platform for forensics labs where time and accuracy are critical.

DSQ II Single Quadrupole GC-MS
For an affordable package with superior technology, choose the Thermo Scientific DSQ™ II GC/MS. The DSQ II employs next-generation optics for enhanced detection in full scan, time-saving features such as removable ion volumns and a vacuum probe interlock, and the new DuraBrite^TM source. The DynaMax XR detection system extends the upper limit of linearity on the DSQ II while maintaining excellent sensitivity for low level analyses.

ITQ Series Ion Trap GC/MSⁿ

The new Thermo Scientific ITQ™ Series is the latest evolution in quality benchtop ion trap GC/MS systems with EI, CI, Negative CI, MS/MS and direct sample probe capability. Proprietary Pulsed Positive Ion/Negative Ion Chemical Ionization (PPINICI) and variable buffer gas options enhance sensitivity and performance in the toughest sample matrices.

Adding the power of MSⁿ allows you to routinely analyze samples that cannot be tested otherwise. Pesticide and pharmaceutical residues, arson investigation, dioxin contamination, and athletic doping analyses are applications where GC/MSⁿ offers substantial selectivity and performance advantages over standard GC/MS.

Direct Sample Probe
The Thermo Scientific Direct Sample Probe  is designed to complement our range of GC-MS systems. The Direct Sample Probe enables qualitative or semi-quantitative analysis of materials that are difficult, if not impossible, to elute chromatographically. The system is ideal for the quick screening of samples or for any application that doesn't require a GC column separation. Interchangeable probe tools makes it easy to select the best method of sample introduction.

Workflow Oriented Software Simplifies Review & Reporting
Thermo Scientific ToxLab™ 2.0 Intelligent Sequencing Software and Thermo Scientific ToxLab Forms 2.0 were specifically designed to handle the data processing needs for drugs of abuse testing, therapeutic drug monitoring, environmental toxicology, and forensic applications.
