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.
