The updated Q Exactive Orbitrap high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) system includes the addition of variable electron voltage (VeV) technology, a metabolomics library, and the TraceFinder automated compound identification feature. These new capabilities are designed to provide highly sensitive, selective, and accurate compound identification of complex samples for both research and routine laboratories performing GC-MS. The Orbitrap is a relatively easy-to-use GC-MS system that provides high-quality data for compound discovery, identification, and quantitation for comprehensive analyses. It delivers sensitive, routine-grade performance in both targeted and non-targeted screening protocols. Both systems provide excellent resolving power, mass accuracy, linear dynamic range, and sensitivity.
