Introduced in 2018, the LECO Pegasus BT 4D was a landmark in two-dimensional gas chromatography. The combination of GCxGC hardware with LECO’s ChromaTOF® brand software enabled chemists to analyze challenging samples with exceptional sensitivity and reliability. Key innovations, such as the StayClean® ion source, reduced maintenance requirements, while the compact benchtop design saved valuable laboratory space.
Advanced Features for Efficient Analysis
- Enhanced Sensitivity: The GCxGC modulation process improved signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios, making previously undetected analytes clearly identifiable
- Seamless Software Integration: ChromaTOF software simplified quantitation, with tools like Non-Target Deconvolution, Target Analyte Find, and library researching, reducing guesswork and speeding up analyses
- Guided Method Optimization: The Simply GCxGC tool assists both new and experienced users in creating or converting methods, maximizing peak capacity and analytical efficiency
The Legacy Continues On
The Pegasus BT 4D set a new standard in GCxGC performance, offering laboratories improved uptime, richer chemical data, and streamlined workflows. Since then, LECO has advanced the platform even further. The Pegasus BTX builds on this legacy, delivering enhanced sensitivity, faster throughput, and even greater analytical capabilities for modern laboratory workflows.
