Chromatography / Spectrometry

Gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a powerful analytical technique that combines the separation capability of a gas chromatograph with the identification power of a mass spectrometer. This method is the “gold standard” for analyzing volatile and semi-volatile compounds in complex mixtures, as it provides both qualitative (what compounds are present) and quantitative (how much of each compound is present) information.
