100 fg TCDD - S/N better 800:1

Sensitivity specification S/N better than 800:1 for 100 fg TCDD. LOQs for dioxins, furans and PCBs in the lowest fg range. Dynamic range better than 6 orders of magnitude, no dilution of unknown samples necessary. As easy to use like a benchtop instrument: Ion source AutoTune really works, also for high sensitive dioxin analysis. No lenses in the analyzer that have to be tuned! Fast method setup for immediate analysis. It’s fun to operate the DFS - No special high resolution skills required.
