What is GC and GC/MS
GC/MS is a highly effective analytical technique. In this technique, the power of gas chromatography (GC) to separate compounds from a complex mixture is coupled with the ability of mass spectroscopy (MS) to identify those compounds (qualitative analysis), and accurately determine the amounts present (quantitative analysis).
The chromatographic and mass spectral data is recorded by a computerized data system, which can also be used to analyze the information obtained and control the various instruments.
GC/MS is a very sensitive technique and can be used to identify samples containing femtogram quantities of compounds. It can be used to analyze samples from a wide range of sources and is routinely used in a variety of areas, for example, environmental agencies, medical and forensic laboratories, and the control boards for athletics and horse racing.
