Redefine your GC-MS Analysis
A comprehensive understanding of samples has been out of reach for GC-MS users for too long. The Thermo Scientific Q Exactive GC Orbitrap GC-MS/MS system and the new Thermo Scientific Exactive GC Orbitrap GC-MS system have changed all of that. The Q Exactive GC Orbitrap GC-MS/MS system is here with the superior resolving power, mass accuracy, and sensitivity that only Orbritrap technology can deliver. The Exactive GC Orbitrap GC-MS system brings the power of high-resolution, accurate-mass (HRAM) analysis into the routine environment for the first time. Both systems allow scientists working in the fields of food safety, environmental, industrial, forensics, and anti-doping to revolutionize their workflows by taking their analytical capabilities to the next level.
