Conclusions
• The TSQ 8000 GC-MS/MS enabled simple method
development, validation, and management using a
combination of integrated software tools.
• The new method increased productivity in the
laboratory by combining three separate methods into
one, from three injections down to one injection.
• Quantitative performance of the system and
methodology was excellent with a good level of
linearity, excellent sensitivity, and high precision in a
variety of environmental sample types.
