The addition of negative and positive ion chemical ionization (CI) capabilities to the TSQ 8000 triple quadrupole GC-MS system increases analytical options available to the user for addressing the diverse challenges of complex, trace level analysis. Chemical ionization can be used for applications such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and methods that utilize halogenated derivatized reagents including estrogenic compounds or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in hair.
The direct insertion and direct exposure probe options, enhance the user’s ability to analyze samples in this mass spectrometer in combination with MS/MS for applications such as the rapid structural characterization of chemical reaction products.
