Introduction
The JMS-Q1600GC UltraQuad™ SQ-Zeta is the 6th generation of high-end Gas Chromatograph Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers (GC-QMS) from JEOL. Built on 50 years of MS technology experience, this instrument delivers superior performance for both quantitative and qualitative analysis. It is the ultimate general-purpose solution for a wide variety of measurement needs, from environmental to materials analysis.
Product Overview
This system is designed to meet the most demanding analytical requirements. With high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range, the JMS-Q1600GC UltraQuad™ SQ-Zeta can handle complex samples with excellent precision. It offers unique ion source options, including the Enhanced Performance Ion Source (EPIS) and the EI/PI combination source, expanding analytical capabilities. The integrated msFineAnalysis iQ software simplifies qualitative analysis by combining EI and soft ionization data.
Key Features
- High Sensitivity: Instrument Detection Limit (IDL) < 5 fg (standard EI source) and < 1 fg (optional EPIS source).
- Wide Dynamic Range: More than 5 orders of magnitude, useful for both quantitative and qualitative analysis of complex mixtures.
- EPIS Ion Source (Optional): Offers the highest in-class sensitivity, ideal for trace-level quantitative analysis.
- EI/PI Combination Source (Optional): Allows switching between hard (EI) and soft (PI) ionization without replacing the source or breaking vacuum.
- msFineAnalysis iQ Software: Automatically combines EI library search results with soft ionization data for more accurate identification.

FAQ
1. What is the JMS-Q1600GC UltraQuad™ SQ-Zeta used for?
It is used for both quantitative analysis (e.g., environmental samples, water, agrochemicals) and qualitative analysis (e.g., materials, aromas) with high performance.
2. What is the benefit of the EPIS ion source?
The EPIS ion source provides ultra-high sensitivity (IDL < 1 fg), enabling trace-level quantitative analysis and simplifying sample concentration steps.
3. How does the EI/PI combination source work?
It allows users to perform both hard ionization (EI) and soft ionization (PI) on the same source without changing it, facilitating easy acquisition of molecular and structural information.
4. What is special about the msFineAnalysis iQ software?
This software automatically combines EI library search results with molecular weight data from soft ionization to provide more accurate identification than library searches alone.
5. What is the dynamic range of the instrument?
The JMS-Q1600GC has a wide dynamic range of over 5 orders of magnitude, allowing for accurate analysis of samples with widely varying concentrations without extensive dilution.
Conclusion
The JMS-Q1600GC UltraQuad™ SQ-Zeta is a powerful and versatile GC-QMS system. With advanced technologies like the EPIS ion source and integrated software, it meets the most rigorous analytical needs of modern laboratories.
