Shimadzu is offering up to 25 per cent savings with its summer GCMS package deal, which features the QP2010SE GCMS plus a capillary column supported with a NIST library for laboratory applications.
The package covers applications in research and development, academia, hospitals and general chemical manufacturing and is being offered for GBP30,000.
A second summer deal sees the company's QP2010 Ultra EI GCMS being offered for GBP40,000.
The QP2010SE and QP2010 Ultra EI are rugged GCMS systems that feature a dual filament with auto changeover, which ensures minimal data are lost during sample sequencing.
The systems are said to be versatile, robust and easy to maintain and enable front opening access to the source area.
The systems are designed to ensure that the quadrupole analyser is not disturbed during source cleaning, simplifying the task of maintenance.
The QP2010 Ultra EI is capable of rapidly pumping down to enable qualitative analysis within 10-15 minutes; it also achieves a scan rate of 20,000amu/sec and offers signal-to-noise performance of >500:1 for 1pg OFN.
The performance of both the QP2010SE and QP2010 Ultra EI systems can be enhanced with the addition of a direct sample inlet probe accessory that can heat up to 500C and offers total software control.
Analytical applications for the QP2010SE and QP2010 Ultra EI systems include analysing semi volatiles in drinking water, identifying PBDEs in plastics and creating fatty acid profiles in neonatal screening for inborn errors of metabolism.
To qualify for the summer GCMS package deals, organisations must place their order with Shimadzu before 30 September 2011.
