SCION SQ GC-MS
The SCION (SQ) GC-MS is a piece of gas chromatography instrumentation designed for today’s fast paced analytical laboratory. Innovative design features such as a Lens-Free ion path, heated ion optics and an Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) detector enable the SCION SQ to deliver accurate quantification and identification on a routine basis, even in complex matrices. As ions pass through a mass spectrometer a significant portion is lost every time they encounter a lens. Due to its unique design the SCION SQ doesn’t have any lenses thus increasing the sensitivity of the instrument by reducing ion losses.
Highlights:
- Innovative lens-free ion path delivers simplifies tuning
- Off axis source and detector increase sensitivity
- Active focusing Q0
- Dual filament source increases uptime
- Compound-based scanning software

Versa Automated Headspace Vial Sampler
Static headspace is one of the most popular techniques for gas chromatography due to its versatility for analysing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a complex variety of matrices. This is because it eliminates tedious sample preparation steps, as well as prevents contamination problems that are common to other sample introduction techniques.
Versa is the perfect gas chromatography instrumentation for applications which require all the advantages of headspace analysis, available to fit any budget.

HT3 Static and Dynamic Headspace System
Static Headspace analysis is a time-tested and robust technique for the analysis of volatile compounds in almost any matrix. The popularity of the technique is due to Headspace analysis providing a clean, reliable result.
Dramatic improvements in sensitivity are achieved with the new Dynamic Headspace option, while maintaining the ruggedness and reliability of a traditional Static Headspace instrument.
