Varian 4000 GC/MS: A powerful and scalable analytical platform for ultra-sensitive analysis
The Varian 4000 GC/MS system is a state-of-the-art analytical instrument designed to meet the demanding needs of modern laboratories for the identification and quantification of chemical compounds. Combining the power of gas chromatography with the sensitivity of an ion trap mass spectrometer, it offers high resolution, remarkable accuracy and great flexibility of use. Thanks to its multiple ionisation modes (EI, CI, hybrid), it is perfectly suited to various types of analysis, from routine analysis to cutting-edge research.
At the heart of the system is a high-performance ion trap capable of storing, fragmenting and analysing ions with great efficiency. Combined with a heated transfer line, it ensures optimised sample introduction while preventing condensation. The spectrometer can operate in internal or external ionisation configuration, allowing for a wider range of analysis methods and easy access to the detection modes best suited to each type of sample.
The vacuum system is provided by a robust turbomolecular pump and a primary pump (foreline), maintaining ideal pressure conditions for ion detection. Ionisation and thermocouple gauges ensure constant pressure monitoring, thus guaranteeing optimum reliability. The electronic module, consisting of dedicated cards, manages both the control of analytical parameters and thermal regulation, as well as communication with the data processing software via a USB interface.
With its modular structure, the 4000 GC/MS is also designed for easy maintenance and technological upgrades. Internal components, such as filaments and ionisation volumes, can be replaced quickly thanks to an ingenious architecture, reducing downtime. The system also supports "hybrid CI" mode, combining external ionisation and ion traps for increased sensitivity in specific applications.
The Varian 4000 GC/MS is a high-end analytical solution designed to deliver precision, reliability and scalability in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, environmental and academic sectors. It is an essential ally in any analytical strategy aimed at excellence.
