The Thermo Scientic ISQ Single
Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
system with ExtractaBrite

ion source
offers unstoppable productivity and
performance. The mass spectrometer
comes paired with the Thermo
Scientic TRACE 1300 GC or
TRACE 1310 GC, which both offer
the unique exibility of injector and
detector modularity. Add a Thermo
Scientic AI/AS 1310 autosampler
for automated liquid injection or
the Thermo Scientic TriPlus RSH
autosampler for automated sample
handling to obtain the ultimate in
analytical productivity.
