Developed to provide optimal performance of US EPA Method 524.2 on the Thermo Scientific DSQTM II GC/MS system, the Method 524 Productivity Solution combines the hardware, software, consumables and methods to provide a comprehensive solution for the GC/MS analysis of volatile organics in drinking water. This turn-key package offers an easy pathway to make your routine volatiles methods better, and gives you powerful tools to go further, with lower detection limits, increased sensitivity, and flexible software. Achieve single digit precision across a broad range of compounds, and process 36 or more samples per 12-hour shift, for true productivity.
Product Detail
The Thermo Scientific Method 524 Productivity Solution integrates the DSQTM II GC/MS system with the software, methods and consumables needed to perform GC/MS analysis of volatile (purgeable) organics in drinking water according to US EPA Method 524.2. The 524 Productivity Solution redefines traditional method development and validation processes by providing pre-developed methods that ensure immediate success and productivity.
PRODUCT FEATURES
The 524 Productivity Solution provides a turn-key package that allows new users to become effective immediately, while allowing experienced operators to focus on relevant activities, rather than performing tasks such as diluting standards. A full complement of methods, templates for the EnviroLabTM Forms 2.0 software that comes with the solution, and two weeks' worth of Thermo Scientific consumables carefully selected and validated to conform to the method quality control criteria are included in the package. Extensive method development and validation steps were taken to ensure that the 524 Productivity Solution provides the optimum balance of performance and productivity, while providing remarkable sensitivity and low limits of detection.
Fast full scan rates (>11,000 amu/sec) - use fast chromatography for increased sample throughput with high spectral quality and rapid data acquisition to fully characterize narrow peaks
Use high split ratio injections to reduce water effects and use 5 mL sample volumes, and achieve lower detection limits with the DuraBriteTM source
Detect and quantify samples across a broad concentration range, minimizing dilutions and repeated samples with the DynaMax XR detection system
TRACE GC UltraTM gas chromatograph - fast heating and cooling rates ensure optimum productivity, with purge-and-trap adaptor kit for leak-free sample transfer
FOCUS GCTM - full-sized GC performance in a smaller footprint, to conserve valuable bench space
