GC-MS systems — selection and configuration
GC-MS combines gas chromatographic separation with mass spectrometric detection. It is used for volatile and semivolatile compounds suitable for GC analysis in food, environmental and chemical laboratories.
Select equipment and request a quotation
State your method, workload and required options to prepare a comparable quotation.
Key selection criteria
- Single-quadrupole GC-MS or tandem GC-MS/MS.
- Ionisation, mass range, scan speed and sensitivity.
- Carrier gas, vacuum system and laboratory requirements.
- Liquid injection, headspace, thermal desorption or pyrolysis.
- Spectral libraries and software.
Autosamplers and specialised introduction systems are configured separately. Explore the gas chromatograph category for conventional separation systems.
Compare three GC-MS systems
| Model | Key differences |
|---|---|
| Shimadzu GCMS-QP2020 NX | Single quadrupole; m/z 1.5–1090; scanning up to 20000 u/s; source and GC selected by configuration |
| Shimadzu GCMS-QP2050 | Standard + Brevis GC-2050; single quadrupole; m/z 1.5–1090; up to 30000 u/s; DuraEase EI |
| Shimadzu GCMS-TQ8050 NX | Triple-quadrupole GC-MS/MS; m/z 10–1090; up to 800 MRM transitions/s; standard EI |
Compare S/N and IDL only with the same test compound, injected amount, carrier gas and mode. QP2050 Standard and Entry have different specifications; this listing covers Standard.

Manufacturer information and documents
Check the version, supply region and document revision. A series page may describe options that are not included in the specific configuration.
Configuration, pricing and procurement
For a quotation, specify the required configuration, number of instruments, installation city and services needed. Agree options, consumables, commissioning and staff familiarisation separately. Documentation, delivery times and warranty terms are specified in the quotation and contract. See the model page for its current price or quotation request option.
Questions before selection and procurement
Which models are listed?
Shimadzu GCMS-QP2020 NX · Shimadzu GCMS-QP2050 · Shimadzu GCMS-TQ8050 NX.
When is a triple quadrupole required?
Consider TQ8050 NX for selective quantitative MRM analysis in complex matrices. Single-quadrupole QP2020 NX and QP2050 can be considered for full-scan and Scan/SIM work. The method, analytes and required quantification limits determine the final choice.
What should be specified in the supply package?
Agree the GC, inlet, autosampler, source, vacuum equipment, column, gases, libraries, computer and licences. QP2050 is pictured with Brevis GC-2050; TQ8050 NX is pictured with Nexis GC-2030. BEIS, PCI/NCI and specialist modules are not automatically included. These instruments are listed for research use, not diagnostic procedures.
How can a fixed price be obtained?
Agree the exact equipment and option list, installation, training and service. A fixed price is established for a confirmed specification; each product page provides a quotation request.
