Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

GC-MS is a powerful analytical technique that combines the separation capabilities of Gas Chromatography (GC) with the identification and quantification power of Mass Spectrometry (MS). GC separates volatile and semi-volatile compounds in a sample, while MS provides precise molecular identification and structural information. This combination makes GC-MS ideal for trace analysis, complex mixture characterization, and forensic or environmental studies.

Applications

• Environmental Analysis:Detect and quantify pollutants, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air, water, and soil.
• Food & Beverage Testing:Identify flavors, contaminants, preservatives, and adulterants in food and beverages.
• Pharmaceutical & Biomedical Analysis:Characterize drug compounds, metabolites, and impurities.
• Forensic & Toxicology:Analyze chemical residues, toxins, and illegal substances.
• Industrial Process Monitoring:Monitor solvents, reaction products, and chemical intermediates.
• Research & Development:Support chemical identification, structural analysis, and product formulation studies.
• Quality Control:Ensure consistency, purity, and regulatory compliance in complex chemical mixtures.
