Ultra-fast analysis meets sensitivity and accuracy
Shimadzu has introduced the new GCMS-TQ8030 triple quadrupole gas chromatograph mass spectrometer which offers a solution for today’s challenges along with the speed, accuracy and ease-of-operation scientists demand.
Shimadzu has introduced the new GCMS-TQ8030 triple quadrupole gas chromatograph mass spectrometer which offers a solution for today’s challenges along with the speed, accuracy and ease-of-operation scientists demand.
With Shimadzu’s high-efficiency, proprietary ion source the system achieves the highest sensitivity specification in its class for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) measurements by GC/MS/MS, as well as for scan and SIM measurements by GC/MS.
The GCMS-TQ8030 features Shimadzu’s UFsweeper® technology which minimizes collision cell length while providing high-CID efficiency and high ion transport speed. UFsweeper® accelerates ions out of the collision cell without any drop in signal intensity or cross talk, even at ultra-fast measurement speeds.
The system comes equipped with Advanced Scanning Speed Protocol (ASSP™), a patented Shimadzu technology that optimizes ion transmission parameters at fast scan speeds. The Ecology mode reduces power consumption by 26 percent and carbon dioxide emissions by approx. 1.1 tons, and decreases the consumption of carrier gas.

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
