GC-MS, or Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, is an analytical technique that combines the separation capabilities of gas chromatography with the identification power of mass spectrometry. Gas chromatography separates individual components in a complex mixture based on volatility and interaction with the column material. The separated compounds then enter the mass spectrometer, where they are ionized, fragmented, and detected according to their mass-to-charge ratios. This dual approach enables highly sensitive, accurate, and detailed chemical analysis. GC-MS is widely used across research, environmental, and industrial applications for detecting trace compounds, verifying chemical composition, and providing in-depth molecular information.
Provides routine qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic compounds. Ideal for laboratories requiring reliable, high-throughput analysis of standard samples. At our facilities, experiments are optimized based on sample characteristics to deliver accurate and reproducible results, supporting research, quality control, and method development.
