Introduction to Shimadzu GC-MS GCMS-QP2010

The Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010 is a classic single quadrupole GC-MS system that combines the high-efficiency separation of gas chromatography with the high-sensitivity detection of mass spectrometry. Widely used in environmental pollutant analysis, food safety testing, drug metabolism research, and chemical product identification, this system features modular design and intelligent operation interface, delivering both research-grade accuracy and routine testing efficiency.

Key Features

1. High-Performance Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer:

   • Mass range: 1.5–1090 m/z with a resolution of 0.7 u (FWHM) and maximum scan speed of 10,000 u/sec, meeting the demands of rapid GC-MS analysis.
   • Standard Electron Ionization (EI) source, with optional Chemical Ionization (CI) source, supporting positive/negative ion mode switching for enhanced compound identification.

2. Intelligent Gas Chromatography Unit:

   • Equipped with Advanced Flow Control (AFC) technology, carrier gas pressure control accuracy of ±0.01 psi, and excellent retention time reproducibility (RSD < 0.1%).
   • Column oven supports programmable temperature from -10°C to 450°C, compatible with capillary and packed columns.

3. User-Friendly Software:

   • LabSolutions GCMS workstation provides a fully localized interface (including Chinese), featuring automatic tuning, method development, and NIST library search (standard library includes over 200,000 reference spectra).

Technical Specifications

• Sensitivity: Detection limit ≤1 pg octafluoronaphthalene (S/N > 100:1) in EI mode.
• Vacuum System: Turbo molecular pump (250 L/sec) combined with a mechanical pump, achieving system startup within 5 minutes.

Typical Applications

• Environmental Analysis: Detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water and organochlorine pesticides in soil.
• Food Safety: Screening of pesticide residues (e.g., pyrethroids) in fruits/vegetables and food additives.

Maintenance Guidelines

• Clean the ion source every 500 hours to prevent sensitivity degradation.
• Regularly replace diffusion pump oil and check inlet septum airtightness.

Renowned for its cost-effectiveness and low maintenance requirements, the GCMS-QP2010 is an ideal choice for small-to-medium laboratories conducting GC-MS analysis.
