How Stuff Works: GC/MS Analysis
What is GC/MS? Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) is a materials analysis method that employs gas chromatographs (GC) fitted with mass selective detectors called mass spectrometers (MS). GC/MS analysis is an ideal tool for identifying unknown substances or contaminants that are present in very low quantities. GC/MS analysis lab services can be used to identify and […]
