JEOL Ltd. (Gon'emon Kurihara,
President) announced a new gas chromatography-time of
flight mass spectrometer, JMS-T100GCV, as a successor of
the JMS-T100GC, to be distributed on January 5, 2009.
The new GC-TOF mass spectrometer is superior in
performance, featuring the worlds highest sensitivity
level and a wider mass range. It is also substantially
improved in ease of operation, thanks to additional
functions such as tuning assistant and EI/FI shared ion
source (option). JEOL plans to promote the new MS system
to users in fields of petroleum chemistry, high polymer
chemistry, and materials chemistry.
[Features]
- Highest sensitivity level in the world and
wider mass range
Effective for
quantitative analysis of unknown substances including
samples having a high boiling point.
- Tuning assistant
Significantly
simplifies the daily tuning procedure, enhancing ease
of operation.
- A single ion source for EI/FI - the first
in the world
A single ion source is used
for both EI and FI ionization methods. The ion source
need not be exchanged. FI, a milder ionization method,
is for observation of molecular ions to estimate the
molecular formula, while EI is for observation of
fragment ions to estimate the structure. Combining EI
and FI has enhanced the effectiveness of the MS
system, enabling accurate, superior qualitative
analysis.
