Key FeaturesTechnical SpecificationsApplications

Smart Productivity for High-Throughput Analysis
The GCMS-TQ8040 NX improves laboratory efficiency with Smart MRM technology, supporting more than 32,000 MRM transitions in a single run and enabling the analysis of over 400 compounds within one method without compromising sensitivity or selectivity. Its Automatic Adjustment of Retention Times (AART) function automatically updates retention times after column maintenance, reducing method reconfiguration and instrument downtime.
Smart Operation for Simplified Method Development
An integrated MRM Optimization Tool automatically determines optimal MRM transitions and collision energies, significantly simplifying method development. The instrument also supports both conventional MRM and simultaneous Scan/MRM acquisition, allowing qualitative confirmation and quantitative analysis to be performed in a single run.
Smart Performance for Sensitive and Reliable Detection
The GCMS-TQ8040 NX incorporates a patented ion source featuring uniform temperature distribution that minimizes active adsorption sites and enhances analytical sensitivity. Its OFF-AXIS ion optics effectively reduce chemical background noise, improving signal quality for trace-level detection. Shimadzu's proprietary UFsweeper™ technology supports ultra-fast MRM acquisition at up to 800 transitions per second, while the Advanced Scanning Speed Protocol (ASSP™) delivers scanning speeds exceeding 20,000 u/second. These technologies allow rapid data acquisition without sacrificing analytical accuracy, making the instrument suitable for both targeted quantification and comprehensive sample screening.

In addition, the GCMS Smart Database Series provides application-specific databases containing optimized MRM transitions, collision energies, CAS registry numbers, and retention indices for hundreds of compounds, reducing the complexity of GC-MS/MS method setup.
