Benefits of GC-MS Systems in Today’s Industries

Monday 11 April 2016

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometer (GC-MS) is a logical technique that blends the types of gas-chromatography and mass spectrometer to recognize various substances in a particular product. It consists of two main blocks that is gas chromatography and the mass spectrometer. When used together both these components can provide a much better degree of substance identification than when these units are used discretely. GC-MS system is used vastly in various fields and industries because of their massive advantages:

• It is used for detecting illegal narcotics and is used in forensic toxicology to discover drugs.
• It is used for detecting drugs in organic samples of suspects, deceased or victims.
• It is used for testing urine sample of the sportsmen in anti-doping laboratories.
• It is used for detecting explosives.
• It is used for used for the analysis of unknown organic compound mixtures.
• It is used in food and beverage industries to analyze components like fatty acids, alcohol,   terpenesand  aldehydes.
• It is used for conducting newborn screening tests.
• It is used for fire investigation procedure.
• It is used for environmental analysis.
• It is used for astrochemistry

The Agilent Gcms Equipment offers high quality service as they undergo a demanding restoration process which includes new filaments,new electron multipliers, new O-rings and seals to name a few. The Agilent Gcms Systems are customized to meet the preference and the requirements of the client. Moreover, all these GC-MS systems can be configured for VOA. These systems contain Chem-station Data System for instrument control and data acquisition.

Thus, it can be said that GC-MS system has been extensively used by the various industries as a "gold standard" for identification of the forensic substance.

Thus, with so many advantages, Gas chromatography–mass spectrometer (GC-MS) has become a number one choice for most industries across the world.
