BenchTOF for GC×GC
A flexible, high-performance approach to GC×GC The platform-neutral design of BenchTOF allows you to adopt the best GC×GC modulator – flow- or thermally-regulated – for your application. In addition, the ChromSpace® module allows you to acquire and process your GC×GC data in a single workflow as part of the TOF-DS™ platform.

The enhanced separating power of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC), combined with the sensitivity, spectral quality and robustness of BenchTOF, ensures confident detection and identification of ultra-trace-level analytes even in the most complex sample matrices.
Features
Key advantages of GC×GC–BenchTOF include:
- - No mass discrimination: Unlike all other TOF systems, BenchTOF instruments deliver reference-quality spectra that are directly comparable to commercial and legacy libraries.
- - Confident detection and identification of ultra-trace analytes, thanks to the exceptional sensitivity and spectral quality of BenchTOF instruments.
- - Compatibility with the latest advances in both thermal
and flow modulation. - - Unparalleled productivity and improved analytical workflow,
thanks to the ChromSpace® GC×GC data-processing module
for TOF-DS. - - Hassle-free soft ionisation, using the power of Select-eV® ion
source technology – now with Tandem Ionisation® for full
sample characterisation in a single run.
INSIGHTTM Modulator
GC×GC
Comprehensive two-dimensional GC (multidimensional gas chromatography) subjects each ‘fraction’ from a 1D column to a second GC separation, using a modulator to focus the first-column eluent into narrow bands before injecting them into the faster-eluting secondary column. The result of this is the separation of mixtures that co-elute on the first column, and a consequent order-of-magnitude increase in compound resolution.

The INSIGHT™ flow modulator from SepSolve overcomes the cost and logistical issues of the liquid cryogen needed for thermally-modulated systems. In addition, it provides separation of volatiles from C1 to C40+, no modulation breakthrough for improved characterisation of both large and small peaks, built-in splitting for use with multiple detectors, and compatibility with heart-cutting 2D GC.

The valve-based Insight modulator uses differential flows to simply 'fill' and 'flush' a sample loop - meaning low running costs for routine GC×GC and none of the logistical issues associated with liquid cryogen.
