Fast, unambiguous identification and quantification of volatile organic impurities

Bring the power of the first-ever combination of high-resolution gas chromatography (GC) and high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) Orbitrap mass spectrometry to your laboratory. The Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ GC Orbitrap™ GC-MS/MS system provides comprehensive characterization of samples in a single analysis for the highest confidence in compound discovery, identification, and quantitation. This system offers the quantitative power of a GC triple quadrupole MS combined with the high-precision, full-scan HRAM capabilities that's only available in combination with our Orbitrap technology.

Search databases and use high resolution filtering to have absolute confidence in your unknown identification

Perform targeted/non-targeted screening, routine quantitation, and qualitative review of GC, GC-MS, LC, and LC-MS data with Thermo Scientific™ TraceFinder™ software. The software provides quantitative workflows and reports for pharmaceutical applications. Discover the unique benefits of TraceFinder with streamlined targeted screening and quantitation for all molecule types and easy access to all necessary information for hundreds of molecules in seconds. Interrogate accurate mass libraries and use high resolution filtering (HRF) to get a single high-confidence answer.
