Thermo Fisher Scientific will host a seminar on the latest advances and applications for its range of gas chromatographic products for the environmental laboratory.
Suitable for attendees from the water and environmental industries, the free seminar will take place on 13 November 2008 at Thermo Fisher's Hemel Hempstead facility and will be hosted by Thermo Fisher representatives.
The full-day workshop will be coordinated by Simon Ellison, GC/MS applications specialist from Thermo Fisher.
This interactive seminar will enhance understanding and explore many different mass spectrometry technologies for environmental applications, ranging from GC and quadrupole to MS/MS with ion trap and triple quadrupole.
The latest addition to the Thermo Scientific gas chromatography product range, TSQ Quantum GC, will be demonstrated.
The TSQ Quantum GC is a selective and sensitive GC triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.
It is suited to the analysis of extremely low-level contaminants in all types of matrices required for regulated environments.
Developed for use in the environmental, food, toxicology, pharmaceutical and clinical research laboratories, the TSQ Quantum GC utilises highly selective reaction monitoring (H-SRM) technology.
H-SRM allows for better selectivity for low level contaminants in difficult matrices.
SRM is a function of all triple quadrupoles.
H-SRM on the TSQ Quantum GC provides lower detection limits with less analyst time.
This capability allows the quantitation of hundreds of compounds in a single run for multi-residue screening and quantitating in heavy matrix, while zero cross-talk collision cell helps in the elimination of false positives.
Other event highlights include presentations from Eric Phillips, environmental and food safety market manager from Thermo Fisher, on choosing the right technology for your laboratory and the use of the TSQ Quantum GC for environmental analysis.
