The SCION (SQ) GC-MS is designed for today’s fast paced analytical laboratory. Innovative design features such as a Lens-Free ion path, heated ion optics and an Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) detector enable the SCION SQ to deliver accurate quantification and identification on a routine basis, even in complex matrices. As ions pass through a mass spectrometer a significant portion is lost every time they encounter a lens.
Due to its unique design the SCION SQ doesn’t have any lenses thus increasing the sensitivity of the instrument by reducing ion losses. Another major advantage of having no lenses the source is the only part to clean, so you can spend more time analyzing samples and less time maintaining your instrument. The SQ is integrated with our SCION 436 or 456 GC as sole or as additional detector.
- Innovative lens-free ion path delivers simplifies tuning
- Off axis source and detector increase sensitivity
- Active focusing Q0
- Dual filament source increases uptime
- Compound-based scanning software
The SCION SQ is the chromatographer’s choice for quadrupole mass detector; it is designed to match your most stringent
needs for analytical performance and productivity. The SCION SQ offers superior sensitivity and robustness based on innovative ion optics, and fast and easy methods development. The SCION SQ GC-MS system defines a new standard of usability for
routine analysis.
