GC-MS, HS-GC-MS and TDU-GC-MS analysis in a laboratory

Analysis using Gas Chromatography coupled to a Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) is used to separated different volatile and semi-volatile compounds from a mixture and to quantitively, semi-quantitively or qualitatively analyze samples.

This technique the particularly adapted for analyzing non-polar volatile compounds such as residual solvents, oils, hydrocarbons, alkane derivatives, small organic molecules like phthalates…

There are complementary analysis modules for analyzing larger volatile and semi-volatile  substances :

– Headspace analysis coupled to GC-MS

– Thermal desorption analysis coupled to GC-MS
