PerkinElmer Clarus 500 GCMS Gas Chromatograph with Clarus 560 Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer and Turbo Matrix 40 Headspace Sampler

The PerkinElmer Clarus 500 GCMS integrates a high-performance gas chromatograph (Clarus 500 GC) with the Clarus 560 quadrupole mass spectrometer and the Turbo Matrix 40 headspace sampler, delivering precise and rapid analysis essential for biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, environmental, pharmaceutical, and food safety research.

Key technical features include:

• Gas Chromatograph (Clarus 500 GC):
• Scan rates of 65 scans/sec in full scan mode and up to 100 scans/sec in selected ion monitoring mode for fast data acquisition.
• Automated safety shut-off triggered by carrier-gas pressure drop ensures instrument protection and reliability in bioprocessing and biomedical applications.
• Mass Spectrometer (Clarus 560 MS):
• Quadrupole analyzer with prefilter enables high sensitivity across a wide mass range of 1–1200 atomic mass units (u).
• Sealed long-life photomultiplier detector enhances stability and reduces downtime critical in gene editing and synthetic biology workflows.
• Air-cooled turbomolecular pump with 75 L/sec capacity maintains stable vacuum conditions, supporting long-term biomanufacturing monitoring.
• Turbo Matrix 40 Headspace Sampler:
• Capacity for 40 vials with a stainless steel needle, providing reproducible volatile compound sampling essential for molecular cloning and environmental contaminant analysis.
• Sample temperature control between 35°C and 210°C enables versatile headspace extraction protocols for biotechnology and clinical diagnostics.

Additional system benefits include plug-and-play technology facilitating immediate system readiness after computer connection, and easy maintenance protocols that minimize downtime in critical laboratory workflows. This GC-MS system is widely adopted in biotechnology research, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, offering precise volatile and semi-volatile compound analysis critical for synthetic biology, cell imaging, and live-cell analysis applications.

Overall, the PerkinElmer Clarus 500 GCMS serves as an advanced analytical tool for researchers requiring reliable and high-throughput gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with integrated sample preparation for cutting-edge scientific investigations.
