Clarus SQ 8 Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer

PerkinElmer’s new Clarus^® SQ 8 is a world-class GC/MS system, delivering uncompromised performance with consistent ultra-trace detection limits – time after time.

Engineered around an advanced, fast quadrupole mass spectrometer, the Clarus SQ 8 GC/MS acquires a large number of spectra (12,500 amu/sec) across every GC peak. This enables the clear definition and quantification of extremely narrow chromatographic peaks to deliver exceptionally accurate and precise data. The instrument also gives you the widest mass range available in gas chromatography (1-1200 u), and detection limits never before seen with a single quadrupole GC/MS.

From high-throughput applications to highly regulated environments, the Clarus SQ 8 is the ideal GC/MS solution for virtually any laboratory. No matter how many samples you’re running, how tough your matrices, what your detection limit or speed requirements, the instrument has been engineered with a range of innovative features to help meet the unique challenges you face every day:

• SMARTsource™ (Simplified Maintenance And Removal Technology) enables you to reconfigure between EI and CI simply and quickly without losing valuable laboratory time.

• Industry’s fastest conventional GC oven heats up and cools down more rapidly than other ovens for unsurpassed productivity – compatible with traditional GC columns of standard dimension.

• The world’s most sensitive detector – Clarifi™ – delivers the flexibility to choose your ideal level of sensitivity and dynamic range, eliminates background noise and maximizes analyte signals.

The Clarus SQ 8 GC/MS is available in 3 different configurations – Clarus SQ 8S with Electron Impact (EI) ionization and 75 L/sec turbomolecular pump; Clarus SQ 8T with Electron Impact (EI) ionization and 255 L/sec turbomolecular pump; Clarus SQ 8C with Electron Impact (EI) and Chemical Impact (CI) ionization and 255 L/sec turbomolecular pump – all featuring the fastest conventional GC front end, the Clarus 680 GC.

PerkinElmer delivers a complete, seamlessly integrated, worry-free GC/MS solution with:

• Exceptional instrumentation

• Compatibility with virtually all sample introduction systems, including PerkinElmer’s world-class TurboMatrix™ Headspace and Thermal Desorption systems

• Consumables and accessories designed for optimum chromatography performance

• The world’s most trusted service and support network, OneSource^®
