Features of ITQ™ Series GC-Ion Trap MS Systems
External Ionization Ion Source
Standard on all ITQ systems with independently controlled heating from 125° to 300°C for stable operation and excellent chromatographic integrity
Enhanced spectral integrity when ionization takes place external to the trap, so the system stays cleaner, longer for improved uptime and longer periods between cleaning
Quadrupole Ion Trap Mass Analyzer
Unit mass resolution throughout the mass range
Durable inert materials for long life
Automatic gain control ensures that the ion trap is always filled with the optimum number of ions
Detection System
Digital electronic noise discrimination enhances sensitivity
Post-acceleration +10kV conversion dynode offers efficient positive and negative ion detection
Configurations Available for ITQ Series
Direct Sample Probe
Directly analyze solids or liquids without chromatographic separation and without moving the GC by using the Direct Sample Probe
Chemical Ionization
Optional chemical ionization increases selectivity and sensitivity
Both positive and negative chemical ionization modes supported; digital reagent gas flow control ensures method stability and reproducibility
Features Standard on the ITQ 1100 GC-Ion Trap MS; Optional for the ITQ 700 GC-Ion Trap MS; and ITQ 900 GC-Ion Trap MS
MSn with ACE and PQD
Capability to routinely test for compounds in the matrix that cannot typically be detected with other GC/MS techniques
Automated Collision Energy (ACE): Sutomatically calculates an estimated optimal collision energy based on product ion m/z and damping gas flow rates; runs at three energies across each scan
Pulsed Q Dissociation Mode (PQD): Generates information-rich mass spectral data, even in the low mass range; produces precise, reproducible fragmentation
Vacuum Probe Interlock
Restore system performance, change from EI to Cl or use the direct sample probe—all without venting the instrument using the Vacuum Probe Interlock
