Shimadzu’s new GCMS SQ with advanced ion source for faster, easier maintenance

Published: 25-Feb-2025

The redesigned internal structure of GCMS-Qp2050 enhances robustness while significantly reducing maintenance time, ensuring stable and reliable data collection

One of the key innovations is the new ion source, which cuts maintenance time by up to 95% compared to previous models. This minimises downtime and streamlines user operations.

Key features:

  • High sensitivity & long-term stability
    A newly designed quadrupole with pre-rods improves ion transmission and prevents contamination, boosting sensitivity 2.5x over conventional models. This ensures precise, long-term analysis with minimal performance degradation.
     
  • Simplified maintenance
    The contamination-resistant filament structure extends component lifespan, reducing replacement frequency by up to 80%. The redesigned ion source simplifies upkeep—tasks that once took 25 minutes now take just 1 minute.
     
  • Compact, space-saving design
    With a width of 280 mm, the GCMS-QP2050 is the smallest in its class. When paired with the compact GC-2050, it achieves a 27% reduction in footprint, maximising lab space.
     
  • Smart automation & remote access
    AI-powered Peakintelligence software enables automated, high-accuracy data processing. The system also features real-time workflow tracking and remote monitoring via LAN, allowing users to check instrument status and control operations from anywhere.

Designed to enhance productivity and ease of use, the GCMS-QP2050 sets a new standard in GC-MS technology, enabling faster analysis, greater precision, and reduced operational burden.
