1Introduction

The 7200 Accurate-Mass Quadrupole Time-of-Flight GC/MS

System

The 7200 Accurate-Mass Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (Q-TOF) GC/MS System is

a standalone capillary GC detector for use with the Agilent 7890 Series gas

chromatograph. The 7200 Q-TOF features:

•Three turbomolecular vacuum pumps

•Rotary vane foreline pump

•Independently MS-heated EI or CI ion source

•Removable ion source (RIS) probe with bayonet and cooling chamber, which

allows quick change from EI to CI source with minimal loss of vacuum in

the instrument

•Independently MS-heated hyperbolic quadrupole mass filter, which can be

heated to high temperatures, minimizing the contamination typical with

low temperature analyses

•Single hexapole collision cell

•Vacuum-insulated flight tube with dual-stage ion mirror

•Fast electronics, allowing fast sampling rates

•Analog to digital detector

•Independently GC-heated GC/MS interface with automatic retraction

during source removal

Physical description

The 7200 Q-TOF GC/MS is approximately 48 cm high, 71 cm wide, and 89 cm

deep. The flight tube extends 84 cm up over the top of the instrument. The RIS

probe handle, when attached, extends 48 cm from the front of the instrument.

The weight of the instrument is 152 kg for the turbo pump mainframe. The

attached foreline (roughing) pump weighs an additional 22.2 kg.

The basic components of the instrument are: the frame/cover assemblies, the

vacuum system, the GC/MS interface, the removable ion source, the flight tube

electronics, the collision cell, the detector, and the analyzer.
