TSQ™ 8000 Triple Quadrupole GC-MS eLearning Courses

TSQ™ 8000 Triple Quadrupole GC-MS eLearning courses provide you with foundational knowledge and basic skills that you need to use and benefit from your instrument. You will find a series of eLearning courses which can cover different topics such as foundational theory and/or basic operations principle and/or user maintenance and troubleshooting.

The TSQ™ 8000 Triple Quadrupole GC-MS foundational theory eLearning course provides a complete understanding of the principles, components, and operation of the triple quadrupole GC-MS instruments. This course explores the theoretical foundations underlying triple quadrupole GC-MS instruments, covering topics such as ionization techniques, SRM (selected ion monitoring) scan type, and data interpretation. Here is a breakdown of the course outline:

• Introduction to a triple quadrupole GC-MS platform, and the different components involved.
• Fundamentals of Gas Chromatography, including principles of sample introduction and the separation process
• Ionization techniques for the triple quadrupole GC-MS:
  • Electron Ionization
  • Chemical Ionization
• Mass Analysis:
  • Triple quadrupole overview
  • Mechanisms of Collision Induced Dissociation (CID)
• Operation modes of triple quadrupole MS: Full scan, SIM, and SRM (precursor ion scan and product ion scan)
• Data interpretation using the instrument software

This Foundational Theory eLearning course is similar and applicable to all triple quadrupole GC-MS systems, including the TSQ™ 8000 (Duo/Evo), TSQ™ 9000, and TSQ™ 9610.

The TSQ™ 8000 Triple Quadrupole GC-MS user maintenance and troubleshooting eLearning course provides basic maintenance and troubleshooting guidelines for Thermo Scientific™ TSQ™ 8000 Triple Quadrupole GC-MS. Topics covered in this course include:

• Overview of the maintenance consumables for the GC, sampler, and mass spectrometer
• Recommended maintenance schedules for the autosampler, Trace GC, and TSQ™ 8000 mass spectrometer
• Instructions on basic maintenance tasks and troubleshooting guidelines.

The content included in this course also applies to the TSQ™ 8000 (Duo/Evo), TSQ™ 9000, and TSQ™ 9610 Triple Quadrupole GC-MS systems.
