New High Performance Single and Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry for Gas Chromatographers

Bruker (USA) announces the release the SCION TQ™ triple quadrupole and the SCION SQ™ single quadrupole mass spectrometers for gas chromatography (GC) detection. Designed especially to enhance data quality and productivity for analysts working in routine testing and applied markets, these systems combine performance and value like never before in GC-MS. The SCION GC-MS platform offers revolutionary performance and ease of use, particularly for the food safety and environment monitoring communities, and represent an innovation leap in GC-MS technology.

The SCION series features the industry’s first ion ‘lens-free’ technology which makes these systems very easy to use, regardless of the level of mass spectrometry experience of the operator. The new SCION series is also significantly more sensitive and robust than previous GC-MS instruments, and comes in a very compact bench space saving footprint that is far smaller than for conventional GC-triple quadrupole MS systems.

“With our unique Compound Based Scanning technology, we have finally taken a lot of the mystery and inefficiencies out of triple quads and MRM method development,” stated Meredith Conoley, GC-MS Markets Manager for Bruker’s Chemical & Applied Markets (CAM) division. “We believe that the SCION GC-triple quad system offers game-changing new technology, performance and productivity to gas chromatographers in the most compact triple quad on the market.”

Collin D’Silva, President of Bruker’s Chemical & Applied Markets division, commented: “The SCION GC-MS platform represent the fusion of rich histories of innovation and reliability to extend the high performance traditionally associated with research-grade instruments into a next-generation series of GC-MS instruments for routine use, ensuring that all gas chromatographers can benefit from these advances.”
