GC-MS – Multimedia

The analysis of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) can be challenging as there are a wide variety of target analytes that span a broad range of molecular weights and boiling points.

With increased price and pressure on the helium (He) market, laboratories are looking for a more sustainable alternative to helium and exploring the option of hydrogen (H₂) carrier gas, which can be generated in the lab in a cost-effective manner and produces fast chromatography and higher sample throughput.

Concern about trace-level food contaminants is driving the demand for robust, rapid and reliable methods for identification and quantitation of chemical residues and contaminants in food matrices.

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is regarded as the select analytical technique for the analysis of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in environmental matrices.

There is a growing demand for more rapid methods with maintained robustness and chromatographic performance for the identification and quantitation of chemical residues in food analysis.

The increasing global demand for food has led to a growing use of pesticides, resulting in elevated risks of trace level chemical pollutants in food. Rapid and reliable methods are required to identify and quantify these pollutants with high sensitivity and over a wide dynamic range.

The advanced, built-in robotics of the Thermo Scientific™ TriPlus™ RSH SMART Autosampler deliver exceptional precision, sample handling flexibility, and reliable unattended operation.

The sample preparation workflow for pesticide analysis can be accelerated through automation with possible on-line or off-line injection into the chromatographic system. The video focuses on the automated clean-up step of QuEChERS extracts through the microSPE technology using the Thermo Scientific™ TriPlus™ RSH or RSH SMART autosamplers.

Increasing automation in your daily sample handling workflows enables more unattended operations. It means enhanced productivity, higher accuracy and precision, greener solution for reducing sample volume and solvent waste, including less human hazardous exposure.

Ensuring food safety and quality is increasingly challenging. Whether you're analyzing for pesticide residues, ensuring that label claims are correct and accurate, or profiling for food authenticity, you need a system that delivers low detection levels and high sensitivity.
