Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010 SE with Headspace (HS) module

The Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010 SE with Headspace (HS) module is a robust single-unit quadrupole GC-MS system typically used for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The system integrates the GC-2010 Plus gas chromatograph with a high-performance mass spectrometer and is compatible with headspace samplers such as the Shimadzu HS-20 or TurboMatrix HS-40.

Base Unit (GC + MS):

Width: 86 cm (33.85 in).

Depth: 53 cm (20.87 in).

Height: 44 cm (17.32 in).

Weight: Approximately 74 kg (165 lbs).

Rotary Pump (Primer): Approximately 10 kg (22 lbs).

Headspace Sampler (e.g., HS-20): Adds extra width to the left or right side of the setup, depending on the configuration.

Technical Specifications

Mass range: m/z 1.5 to 1000.

Scan speed: Up to 10,000 u/s, enabling rapid data acquisition without loss of spectral quality.

Sensitivity: 1 pg octafluoronaphthalene (OFN) m/z 272 S/N ≥ 600 (with helium gas).

Vacuum system: Equipped with a powerful turbomolecular pump (TMP) for stable performance at higher column flows up to 4 mL/min.

Use and Functionality

Ecology Mode: A power-saving mode that significantly reduces power and carrier gas consumption during standby (up to 40% energy savings).

Maintenance: The system features a front-opening ion source, allowing for quick and easy maintenance and lens cleaning from the front without disassembling the entire system.

Headspace Applications: Ideal for environmental analysis (such as drinking water testing), food safety, and pharmaceutical quality control where volatile compounds need to be extracted from solid or liquid samples.
