Major Applications of the Supersonic GC-MS
The Supersonic GC-MS (GC-MS with Cold EI) can be applied with few major advantages to practically all GC-MS analysis types as demonstrated in it over 100 publications and applications listed below. We publish on a weekly basis examples of some of our results at the Advanced GC-MS Blog Journal and we beieve that we have more advanced GC-MS applications than any other vendor in this area. The main features of enhanced molecular ion, improved confidence in sample identification, significantly increased range of thermally labile and low volatility samples amenable for analysis, much faster analysis, improved sensitivity particularly for compounds that are hard to analyze and the many other features and options provide compelling reasons to use the Supersonic GC-MS in broad range of areas including:
- Petrochemical and hydrocarbons analysis
-
Geochemical research
-
Entomology research
-
Forensic analysis (arson, explosives, drugs, unknowns)
-
Service and institution GC-MS analysis
-
High end research GC-MS
-
Environmental analysis
-
Pesticide analysis, food safety and quality
-
Pharmaceutical and drug analysis
-
Clinical toxicology
-
Food and fragrance
