Gas chromatography separates and analyzes compounds in a mixture, whereas mass spectrometry identifies their chemical structures. When coupled, GC-MS can separate, identify, and quantify complicated chemical combinations.
With its impressive data processing capabilities and high sensitivity, precision, and accuracy, GC-MS has emerged as the preferred technique and important instrument in a variety of sectors.
SCION has been doing GC-MS analysis for years and provides a wide selection of application notes that use GC-MS devices for a variety of purposes: Multiplexed pesticide analysis, detecting benzene at low levels in beverages, analyzing dioxins, and many more applications.
SCION Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry devices are built for modern analytical laboratories that require speed and efficiency. The 8700 Single Quad (SQ) MS and 8900 Triple Quad (TQ) MS can be effortlessly integrated with the outstanding Gas Chromatography equipment, ensuring the highest levels of analytical accuracy and productivity.
If users demand greater sensitivity and detailed analysis to identify unknown substances and trace components in complex samples, Mass Spectrometry detection technology enables them to meet regulatory bodies' higher standards while also providing the precise results they need.
