The Lucidity GC-MS
Gas Chromatograph with Mass Spectrometer
Length: 22″ Width: 14″ Height: 20″ Weight: 80 lbs
More InfoBenefits
The Lucidity GC-MS is the smallest, most affordable, most robust, easiest to use fully functional Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) on the market with the lowest cost of ownership.
EASIEST TO USE GC-MS AVAILABLE
The software and hardware have been designed from the ground up to make the Lucidity GC-MS extremely intuitive to use so that even a novice can have success with gas chromatography mass spectrometry and even an expert can get the performance and flexibility they are used to.
MOST AFFORDABLE GC-MS AVAILABLE
Now GC-MS, which was once costly, is affordable. For the price of a GC-FID you can now buy a GC-MS. Everyone should have access to mass spectrometry.
LOWEST COST OF OWNERSHIP
With the most affordable service plans, free applications support, and no software licensing fees (software is included with the purchase of the Lucidity GC-MS) you will experience the lowest cost of ownership for any Gas Chromatograph Mass Spec.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS INCLUDED
We want to make it simple. You get everything you need to perform GC-MS analysis when you purchase a Lucidity GC-MS, including a laptop, software, a column, and all the accessories you need.
SELF-INSTALLABLE IN UNDER 30 MINS
Because of the size, weight, and ease of use of the Lucidity GC-MS, you can set up your Lucidity GC-MS in under 30 minutes and be running samples. The system comes all set up and includes a series of installation and training videos that walk you through set up of the system and are available any time you need for subsequent training.
ON SITE SWAP OR SWAP OUT SERVICE OPTIONS
Whether you want a trained service engineer to come on site or whether you want us to ship you a replacement system, we have you covered. Multiple options to fit your needs and keep you up and running!
FREE APPLICATIONS SUPPORT
We are only as successful as our customers. We have a team of highly trained analytical chemists available to assist in method development and applications support. And this service is free for all of our customers!
NO MORE GAS CYLINDERS
With the Lucidity GAS option, the Lucidity GC-MS is capable of performing analysis without the need for external gas cylinders, which can be expensive, frustrating, and dangerous.

Features
SMALL FOOTPRINT
The Lucidity GC-MS has by far the smallest footprint of any fully functional single quadrupole GC-MS out there. This makes the system ideal for putting in multiple locations, being able to move it when needed, and makes it very easy to install.
RAPID OVEN HEATING & COOLING
With the smallest oven of any fully functional GC-MS on the market, the Lucidity GC-MS can ramp all the way to 400C at 60C/min and can cool from 400C to 50C in 5 minutes, meaning it heats faster and cools faster than any of the traditional GC-MSs. This allows for much faster analysis times and much less down time between runs.
HIGH TEMP OVEN
The oven can be programmed up to 400C making the GC capable of handling very difficult applications where you want to analyze very nonvolatile compounds. This is one of the reasons the Lucidity GC-MS has very similar operating capabilities as the traditional larger, more expensive systems rather than being limited to much lower temperatures and therefore a smaller range of very volatile compounds as in portable systems.
SMALLEST VACUUM CHAMBER OF ANY FULL SIZED QUADRUPOLE
The vacuum chamber that contains our single quad mass spec is smaller than any other vacuum chamber for a full sized single quad meaning the system can be ready to run in minutes not hours, it’s quieter, requires less energy, and minimizes the size of pumps needed.
REMOVABLE COLUMN CARTRIDGES
One of the biggest pains with conventional GCs is installing and removing columns. The Lucidity GC-MS allows you to install and remove standard GC columns as easily as you can put a video game cartridge into a gaming console, while eliminating potential user error that usually leads to small leaks or incorrect positioning of the column ends resulting in poor chromatography.
POWERFUL USER FRIENDLY INTERFACE
We have custom designed our user interface with the customer and ease of use in mind. Our goal has always been to create an extremely powerful interface allowing full functionality but while also being extremely easy to navigate with no training required. If it requires a manual to use, it’s probably too complicated.
MATCHES THE RESULTS OF TRADITIONAL GC-MSs
Although the Lucidity GC-MS is dramatically smaller, lower cost, and easier to use, the chromatograms and mass spectra produced with the Lucidity GC-MS are indistinguishable from results produced by other traditional GC-MSs, so that results can be matched and compared to literature results, historical data, and outside lab results.
The Lucidity GAS gas generator
The Lucidity GAS can be ordered along with the Lucidity GC-MS to supply all the needed gasses to the Lucidity GC-MS. The Lucidity GAS is only 10.5″ wide , so together they only take up 25 inches of benchspace or table space. If you order a Lucidity GAS along with the Lucidity GC-MS there are no additional regulators or gauges you need to order – you’ll have everything you need to run GC-MS analysis – gasses, a column, accessories, a laptop, and all the accessories you need to run it for a year or more. You only need a power outlet.

Interchangeable Columns Cartridges
Changing columns has never been easier, and you can use any type of conventional GC column. You can either order any column you want presintalled on a column holder or you can order any column you want and install it yourself onto a column holder, and then the columns can be changed as easily as video game cartridges into a gaming console. The Lucidity GC-MS also keeps track of what runs are run on what columns and warns users if they attempt to run the wrong column with the wrong method.
