The EVOQ® GC-TQ utilizes an innovative "lens-free" elliptical ion-path design that delivers ultra-high sensitivity and chemical noise reduction.
Additional benefits include:
- High speed electronics – more MRM transitions per run and better sensitivity with more datapoints for each chromatographic peak.
- Simple tuning - "Lens-free" ion path for higher stability and sensitivity. Fewer statistical ion losses and no charging effects lead more ions from the source to the detector.
- Greater sensitivity - Active-Focusing q0 uses helium molecules to increase ion transmission. Collision cooling lowers the diameter of the ion trajectory and also increases the number of ions which reach the detector.
- Higher S/N - The unique ion-path and curved collision cell design results in virtually zero neutral ions or chemical noise reaching the detector whilst improving the MRM sensitivity by significantly reducing ion losses due to ion scattering in the quadrupoles before and after the collision cell.
