Shimadzu Debuts GCMS-TQ RX Series Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer

Shimadzu Mass Spectrometer
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments
August 28, 2026

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments introduces the GCMS-TQ RX Series, a triple quadrupole gas chromatograph mass spectrometer designed to deliver high-performance analysis across a range of application fields. 

Built on Shimadzu’s hardware platform, the GCMS-TQ RX Series pairs stability with intuitive software, advanced automation and flexible workflows to help laboratories meet evolving analytical demands. 

The GCMS-TQ RX Series features a multimode injection unit that enhances operational efficiency and streamlines method development. Dedicated software with an intuitive user interface streamlines method creation and enables seamless method transfer. Shimadzu’s proprietary thermal insulation technology achieves both temperature stability and rapid heating and cooling. 

The GCMS-TQ8050 RX Series is equipped with a newly developed, patented detector that combines noise-reduction technologies with high amplification performance without compromising sensitivity. A dual off-axis configuration helps reduce background noise from uncharged particles, improving signal clarity and analytical reliability.

Smart MRM+ automatically creates optimized analytical methods to enable high-sensitivity and high-accuracy quantitative analysis, even for simultaneous scan/MRM analysis. Operators can easily adjust event and acquisition times for each compound within Shimadzu’s LabSolutions GCMS software to achieve efficient, flexible method optimization.

GCMS-TQ8050 RX Series databases are pre-populated with compounds required for each application, allowing users to start analysis immediately. The GCMS-TQ RX Series enables real-time monitoring of the instrument’s operating status and the estimated completion time for consecutive analyses, as well as displaying the remaining time of the analysis during instrument start-up and shutdown. 

To simplify analysis for users of all experience levels, the GCMS-TQ RX Series is equipped with Peakintelligence for GCMS, an AI-based peak processing algorithm that reduces the time required for peak processing. LabSolutions Insight, a quantitative analysis-support software, reduces the time required for multi-sample data analysis. LabSolutions Explore, a unified software platform, streamlines analytical workflows by integrating advanced data processing, spectral library searching, targeted and non-targeted analysis, and quantitative workflows into a single environment

The Easy sTop function enables safe maintenance of the sample injection port without releasing the vacuum. The standard carrier gas saver function reduces carrier gas consumption during analysis, while the optional gas selector allows users to switch the carrier gas from helium to nitrogen during standby periods.
