Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry :

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is a hybrid analytical technique that couples the separation capabilities of GC with the detection properties of MS to provide higher efficiency of sample analyses. While GC can separate volatile components in a sample, MS helps fragment the components and identify them based on their mass. GC-MS provides enhanced sample identification, higher sensitivity, an increased range of analyzable samples, and faster results, which enable a whole new range of applications for GC-MS in several areas.

• It is exclusively used for the analysis of esters, fatty acids, alcohols, aldehydes, terpenes etc.

• It is widely used in the detection of dibenzofurans, dioxins, herbicides, sulfur, pesticides, phenols, and chlorophenols in air, soil, and water.

• It can be used for the bioanalysis of body fluids to detect narcotics, barbiturates, alcohols, and drugs such as anticonvulsants, anesthetics, antihistamines, sedative hypnotics, and anti-epileptic drugs.

• It is widely used in forensic toxicology to identify poisons and steroids in biological specimens.

• It is used in research and development, production, and quality control.
