The Thermo Scientific EasyTox™ GC/MS Productivity Solution integrates the DSQ™ II GC/MS system, ToxLab™ Forms 2.5 software, methods and consumables to provide a turn-key package designed for GC/MS confirmation of five drug classes in urine. The EasyTox Productivity Solution redefines traditional method development and validation processes by providing pre-developed methods that ensure immediate success and productivity.
PRODUCT FEATURES
The EasyTox Productivity Solution provides a turn-key package that allows busy toxicology laboratories to realize immediate productivity improvements, lower costs per sample, and improved efficiency - resulting in reduced backlogs and increased throughput. Rigorously evaluated methods, templates for ToxLab Forms 2.5 software, and carefully selected Thermo Scientific consumables are included in the package. Extensive testing was performed to ensure that the EasyTox Productivity Solution provides the optimum balance of performance and productivity, while providing remarkable sensitivity and broad linear ranges. Reduce the number of sample re-extractions, spend less time reviewing data, and increase the number of samples analyzed per hour with the EasyTox Productivity Solution.
DSQ II GC/MS System
The Thermo Scientific DSQ II single quadrupole GC/MS system represents the gold standard for GC/MS confirmations in workplace drug testing.
- Sensitive, single digit millisecond ion dwell times - use fast chromatography for increased sample throughput with stable ion ratios and rapid data acquisition to fully characterize narrow peaks
- Use split injections for improved chromatography, faster run times from higher oven starting temperatures, and extended instrument uptime, while still achieving low detection limits with the DuraBrite™ source
- Detect and quantify samples across a broad concentration range, minimizing dilutions and repeated samples with the DynaMax XR detection system
- TRACE GC Ultra™ gas chromatograph - fast heating and cooling rates ensure optimum productivity while maintaining precise retention times
- AS 3000 or the TriPlus™ AS autosampler systems - precise, effective sample injections for lower detection limits and reduced sample carryover
ToxLab Forms 2.5 Analysis and Reporting Software
ToxLab Forms 2.5 analysis and reporting software provides a comprehensive approach to GC/MS data analysis and reporting. ToxLab Forms works with Xcalibur software to streamline routine processes and shorten data review and reporting times.
- Innovative Active Reporting ensures that any integration or calibration changes are reflected in reports, real-time
- Method maintenance and data management tools allow for easy updates of methods and for simiplified archival and retrieval of data
- Flexible reporting options ensure reports that suit your lab's requirements, with straightforward paths for integration into most LIMS.
Thermo Scientific Consumables
A complete set of Thermo Scientific consumables have been performance-matched to toxicology laboratory requirements.
- Specially-engineered TRACE™ TR-DOA35 and TRACE TR-5MS analytical columns provide best performance for the broad range of analytes
- Solid phase extraction columns provide sample clean up with minimal interferents
- Deactivated injection port liners reduce activity in the injection port for challenging compounds
- Gas-tight autosampler syringes for precise injections and reduced carryover
- Low-bleed septa offer rugged performance with minimal background
Comprehensive Documentation
Be productive with your new DSQ II GC/MS system and EasyTox Productivity Solution right out of the box by using the full set of documentation provided in the package. A Quick Start Guide highlights basic operations, while a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) thoroughly covers the use and operation of the EasyTox Productivity Solution, and can be used as a starting point for developing required operating manuals. Training is simplified and consistent from operator to operator and from instrument to instrument. A Quick Reference CD incorporates reorder information along with training, and a validation data CD includes the complete data set for the factory validation of the TurboTox Productivity Solution.
