Part of the TSQ 9610 triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS system, Enhanced Velocity Optics Collision Cell (EvoCell) technology boosts sample throughput with very high selected-reaction-monitoring (SRM) transition speeds, providing enhanced precision and sensitivity for even the most complex methods. Timed-SRM (t-SRM) software automates optimization of SRM scheduling.
EvoCell technology can be used to increase the scope of SRM methods to fit a wider range of compounds and matrices, increase sample throughput by compressing GC time, or increase method resistance to interferences, matrix effects, and retention time shifts.

The XLXR electron multiplier detector which extends dynamic range twofold compared to the previous design and seven time more lifetime comes as standard across the ISQ 7610 and TSQ 9610 models. Extended dynamic range capability enables labs to combine methods, including calibration curve development, allowing analysis of low- and high-concentration compounds in a single run.
NeverVent technology
Patented Thermo Scientific NeverVent technology delivers unstoppable coonfidence in GC-MS uptime. Used with the ExtractaBrite ion source, the vacuum probe interlock (VPI) and the V-Lock source plug isolate the vacuum region of the mass spectrometer from the gas chromatograph, allowing routine source cleaning, and ion source and column changing, without venting. If the NeverVent-AEI source is configured, the filament can also be changed without venting.
Dual filament

The dual filament design extends instrument uptime. Both filaments produce similar analytical performance so you can switch from one to the other without impacting analytical performance. To simplify operation, the dual filament assembly is used for both EI and CI modes.
GC-MS transferline
Independently heated zones for transfer line, ion source, and ion optics help ensure that the system stays cleaner for a longer period of time.
The optimized GC-MS transferline evenly distributes heat across the length of the analytical column, ensuring that there are no hot or cold spots, which in turn delivers Gaussian peak shapes, even for high boiling point compounds.
Ion source probes
Optional ion source probes enable you to perform real-time MS and MS/MS experiments on solid samples with easy switching between EI and CI modes. Like the ExtractaBrite ion source, the probes can be removed without venting.
Available ion source probes:
Direct Insertion Probe (DIP) for rapid analysis of components in solid matrices.
Direct Exposure Probe (DEP) for rapid molecular weight confirmation of solids dissolved or suspended in liquid solvents.
MS software innovations advance method development
The Thermo Scientific ISQ 7610 GC-MS and TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS systems include a comprehensive set of software features for instrument tuning, and method development and optimization of targeted quantification and untargeted screening workflows. The software provides users with a seamless experience during the transition from other platforms. Intelligent instrument health monitoring helps you know when to perform planned maintenance ensures sample analysis is not interrupted due to a drop in instrument performance.
AutoSIM and Timed-SIM
AutoSIM saves time during method set up. The software provides automated, user-selectable, criteria-guided development of SIM method from full scan data, either automatically acquired by AutoSIM or imported from external data files (CSV, Excel, LIMS database).
For maximum sensitivity, Timed-SIM (t-SIM) acquisition helps users optimize the dwell times used in SIM-based quantitation of large numbers of analytes, especially for co-eluting analytes. AutoSIM can be used together with t-SIM to completely automate workflows.
SIM Bridge and AutoSRM
SIM Bridge translates SIM methods from other sources into TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS system methods. The SIM methods can then be immediately used as-is, or converted into more powerful SRM methods using AutoSRM.
AutoSRM walks users through selection of optimum SRM transitions for TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS system methods. Together, SIM Bridge and AutoSRM enable even less-experienced staff to rapidly develop MS and MS/MS methods.
Timed-SRM

As compounds are added to a method, managing acquisition-time windows becomes increasingly complex. For the TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS system, t-SRM dramatically reduces this complexity by automatically optimizing the SRM parameters needed to attain sensitive detection and quantification. The user simply enters the retention time window for the target peak, and t-SRM takes care of the rest.
Retention time alignment

Retention Time Alignment (RTA) is a fast, flexible, and easy way to maintain retention times during high-throughput GC-MS system operation. RTA uses the void time of the column and retention time of a reference substance to provide new column dimension settings, or to correct carrier gas pressure or flow values to realign chromatographic peaks. After a column replacement or trim, the user can quickly realign the retention time.
