The Thermo Scientific DSQ II Series Dual Stage Quadrupole GC/MS - Redefining Productivity in the Workplace

Equipped with the next-generation DuraBrite™ XL source and DynaMax XR detection system, the DSQ II single quadrupole GC/MS system is able to detect smaller amounts of compounds in difficult matrices, translating into less sample prep time, smaller injection volumes, less sample usage, more confidence – real productivity. Combined with intuitive software applications and innovative Productivity Solutions, the DSQ II provides a complete GC/MS solution for routine applications, while offering ultimate performance for challenging GC/MS analyses.

NEW DuraBrite XL Ion Source -  The new DuraBrite XL Ion Source improves ion trasmission in matrix, for enhanced sensitivity, while protecting the analyzer from contamination. This maintains the system's unbeatable sensitivity longer, and increases overall uptime.

Electron Ionization (EI) Signal-to-Noise: 1 pg of octafluoronaphthalene will provide 450:1 RMS S/N

Negative Chemical Ionization Signal-to-Noise: 1 pg of octafluoronaphthalene will provide 5000:1 RMS S/N

Positive Chemical Ionization Signal-to-Noise: 1 pg of benzophenone will provide 50:1 RMS S/N

DynaMax XR Detection System  - The DSQ II's advanced DynaMax XR detection system allows for linear quantitation across six orders of magnitude and higher, increasing the effective analysis range of the DSQ II while decreasing sample preparation requirements

Workflow-Oriented Software Solutions for Maximum Productivity 

Software applications integrate the DSQ II GC/MS system into your daily operations by streamlining routine data review and reporting processes.

• ToxLab^TM 2.0 intelligent sequencing software enhances laboratory productivity with real-time decision-making capability.  Currently, this software package is available in North America only.
• EnviroLab^TM Forms 2.0 provides error-free, user-friendly, and EPA-compliant reports to streamline workflows and simplify environmental and food safety analyses
• ToxLab Forms 2.0 provides user-friendly automation for reporting needs related to detection of drugs of abuse, therapeutic drug monitoring, and forensic studies

The DSQ II, configured with the proven Thermo Scientific TRACE GC Ultra^TM gas chromatograph, delivers results you would expect from high end systems at an affordable price. For added productivity, specify an AI/AS 3000 or TriPlus^TM Autosampler for high volume applications. Couple the DSQ II with the Thermo Scientific FOCUS GC gas chromatograph for full-size GC/MS performance and productivity in a space-saving package - ideal for labs with unlimited analytical needs but with limited space or budgets.
