gc-ms: varian 450gc - 300 ms/ms

  • scan modes: q1ms, q3ms, precursor (parent), product(daughter), neutral loss, selected ion monitoring (sim), selected reaction monitoring (srm), full scan ionization modes: electron ionization (ei) or positive/negative chemical ionization (ci)
  • source: ei/ci source with vacuum interlock for quick change of ion volumes; entrance hexapole isolates source contaminants from mass filter
  • source temperature: independent control, 20 c to 325 c
  • filament: single, 50 to 500 μa
  • electron energy: 20 ev, 70 ev or 150 ev
  • mass filters: quadruple with pre- and post-filters; lensless design maximizes transmission efficiency
  • collision cell: 180 curved path with pre- and post filter region; long path ensures high dissociation efficiency
  • mass range: up to 800 da
  • scan rate: up to 6000 da/sec
  • resolution: 0.7 da at 1250 da/sec or 0.6 da at 500 da/sec
  • ei dynamic range: >10^5 (compound dependent)
  • mass axis stability: 0.1 da over 24 hours
  • transfer line temperature: independent control; 50 c to 325 c
  • manifold temperature: independent control; 30 c to 50 c
  • ion detector: positive or negative ions, constant 5 kv post-acceleration voltage
  • carrier gas flow: up to 8 ml
