Description:

GC-MS/MS system EVOQ GC-TQ (triple quadrupole) BRUKER Germany

Speed-

Advanced electronics deliver high-speed performance.

Sensitivity-

Active focusing produces a robust and highly sensitive system.

Signal-to-noise-

Elliptical ion-path design results in virtually zero neutral or chemical noise.

Libraries – User-created or commercial library support

The EVOQ GC-TQ gives users the freedom to create an unlimited number of libraries to share with
partners around the world, which can be shared between different clients from one or more servers.
The use of pre-determined libraries and commercially available databases in NIST format represents
a substantial time-saving.

MRM Method Builder – Designed by chromatographers

The EVOQ GC-TQ’s autofill function removes the need to know the MRM transition of an analyte. A
simple drag-and-drop of the compound from the factory-installed compound library, which contains
more than 3000 MRM transitions, automatically sets up the method and manages the TQ duty cycle.

Benefits:

EVOQ GC-TQ

Unrivaled performance, reliability, and compact for benchtop space savings

The EVOQ GC-TQ utilizes an innovative “lens-free” elliptical ion-path design that delivers ultra-high
sensitivity and chemical noise reduction.

Applications:

EVOQ GC-TQ

EVOQ GC-TQ set new standards of performance in:

Food Analysis and Testing

Ideal for testing for pesticide and veterinary drug residues, and other contaminants in food products.
The high MRM speed allows high throughput chromatography testing, delivering a wide scope of
application utility and unprecedented flexibility.

Environmental Analysis

The MRM software databases allow the simple setup of methods to screen and quantify hundreds of
compounds, even those detected in low amounts.
Forensic Toxicology

Body fluids are amongst the toughest matrices for analysis. The EVOQ GC-TQ series delivers
sustained sensitivity and robustness to meet the unique challenges of forensic analysis while
minimizing maintenance downtime

Targeted Metabolomics

The software suite brings the EVOQ GC-TQ system in line with Bruker’s well-known instrumentation
and software for Metabolomics and Phenomics investigations. Users can now integrate data from
every Bruker instrument using the same workflows.
