To address the industry-wide challenge of accurately identifying trace contaminants in agricultural and food safety testing, the R&D team at FPI’s self-incubated subsidiary EXPEC Technology drew on over two decades of accumulated expertise in mass spectrometry technology to independently develop the EXPEC 3750 Gas Chromatograph-Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The instrument broadly covers laboratory analytical needs and has provided effective research support to a university in Peru.
The EXPEC 3750 GC-MS has been installed and is now officially operational at the School of Nutrition and Food Science of a university in Peru, where it is used to analyze agrochemicals, pesticides, and methanol. The instrument, which holds CE certification, provides strong support for local food safety research.
Facing the complexity of testing agrochemicals, pesticides, and methanol—where sample matrices are often complex and prone to interference—the EXPEC 3750 GC-MS, with its outstanding stability and detection sensitivity, has enabled the university’s School of Nutrition and Food Science to successfully complete its related analytical work.
- Durable e highly sensitive detector: The target ion stream travels through a triple off-axis trajectory before reaching the electron multiplier, effectively shielding against neutral interference and reducing baseline noise. Meanwhile, the highly durable electron multiplier helps lower the overall operating cost of the mass spectrometer.
- Presa di iniezione del liquido ultra-stabile: Featuring full electronic flow control with built-in self-diagnostic capability, it eliminates the need for manual soap-bubble leak checks, reducing the risk of system contamination. An optional inlet with a permanently deactivated, ultra-inert surface treatment is available for analyzing highly adsorptive or corrosive samples.
- Ultra-high precision electronic flow controller (EPC): The EPC core is made from ruby material, delivering stable, superior flow control performance with pressure control precision of up to 0.001 psi.
The successful deployment of this instrument not only provides solid technical support for research in agricultural and food safety testing at Peruvian universities, but also further demonstrates our independent innovation capabilities and international service reach in the field of mass spectrometry analysis.
