A member of the Thermo Scientific ITQ™ Series of GC-ion trap mass spectrometers, the Thermo Scientific ITQ 900™ GC/MS expands on the capabilities of the ITQ 700 system by incorporating an extended mass range and through the added versatility of the powerful Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra™ gas chromatograph. The ITQ 900 is ideal for laboratories performing routine full scan GC/MS methods but require the enhanced sensitivity of the ITQ 900 and the analytical flexibility of a more versatile gas chromatograph.
Product Detail
The Thermo Scientific ITQ 900 GC/MS system combines the power of ion trap mass spectrometry with the flexibility and capability of the Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra gas chromatograph. The ITQ 900 offers an extended mass range (10-900 amu) and, like the entire ITQ Series, the ITQ 900 offers the most sensitive full scan GC-ion trap mass spectrometer performance available, allowing your lab to reach lower detection limits on a broader range of compounds.
Analyze a broader range of targets and unknowns with expanded detector and injector options
Easily upgradeable MS options for increased versatility
Best choice for many routine GC/MS methods, with extended capabilities for more challenging applications
ITQ 900 GC/MS Highlights
External Ionization Ion Source: Independent temperature control from 125 to 300oC provides stable operation and superior chromatographic performance. Spectral integrity is enhanced when ionization occurs external to the trap, and the system stays cleaner longer, for improved uptime and longer periods between cleaning.
Extended Mass Range: Acquire data from 10-900 amu, covering a broad range of compounds for more applications.
Upgrade GC or MS for Increased Analytical Flexibility: The TRACE GC Ultra offers a selection of detector and injector options that can improve performance, particularly for challenging compounds or samples. Upgrade the ITQ to MSn and detect more compounds, add the vacuum probe interlock to streamline instrument maintenance or select chemical ionization.
TRACE GC Ultra Gas Chromatograph - Ultra in Performance, Usability, and Versatility
The Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra gas chromatograph offers a full range of injector options, allowing you to match the injection technique to the sample and target compound characteristics. This ensures greatest reproducibility, sensitivity and reliability for routine operations. Select from two available injector positions and the following injector options:
Standard Split/Splitless (SSL)
True Cold on-Column
Programmable Temperature Vaporizing Inlet (PTV)
A full complement of traditional GC detectors is also available for the TRACE GC Ultra, enabling the use of screening and GC/MS confirmations on the same instrument. Detector options include Flame Ionization Detector (FID), Electron Capture Detector (ECD), Photoionization Detector (PID), Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD), Nitrogen Phosphorous Detector (NPD), Flame Photometric Detector (FPD), Pulsed Discharge Helium Ionization Detector (PDD) - also available in tandem with ECD.
