Innovatech Labs specializes in non-routine lab testing.  The following information about Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry, GC/MS, is intended to help you better understand the services we provide, the types of samples best suited for this technique and the types of data that can be obtained from such tests.

Every project is unique, so we invite you to contact one of our highly skilled analysts to discuss your specific needs.  Contact us today by email or phone 888-740-5227.

Details - Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry - (GC/MS)

ANALYTICAL INFORMATION:

Material identification - The mass spectrum of the unknown compound can be searched against our computerized reference library of over 275,000 spectra for identification.

Quantification - The concentration of the various compounds in a sample can be quantified by establishing a standard curve of known concentrations of each material.

SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS:

· Physical State - Sample must be either a liquid or a gas for a direct injection. The compounds off gassed by a solid can be analyzed using headspace analysis.

· Sample size - several microliters for a liquid or a gas, between 0.5 - 1 gram for headspace analysis of a solid.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:

· Typical Analysis time - 1 hour for an analysis and interpretation of a sample containing relatively few compounds. More complex samples will require additional time for interpretation.

· Unique Capabilities: separates and identifies the components of a mixture, also quantifies known compounds.
