Gas Chromatography – Multimedia

If your gas chromatograph is only running part time, you’re missing the benefits of a system that delivers measurably more production time. That’s the advantage of the time- and space-saving Thermo ScientificTM TRACETM 1600 Series Gas Chromatograph (GC).

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.

Since the separation of compounds by GC is governed by a molecule’s partitioning properties between the carrier gas and the column’s stationary phase, the careful selection of which column to use not only impacts chromatographic performance, but sample throughput and capacity as well.

The Thermo ScientificTM TriPlusTM RSH SMART autosampler for GC/GCMS utilizes robotic sample handling to expand automated capabilities beyond liquid, headspace and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) injections to advanced sample handling cycles, for simple and more complex sample preparation workflows.

The QuEChERS method is the industry standard for pesticide clean-up and extraction of a wide variety of food samples. QuEChERS kits are easy to use and enable fast sample preparation resulting in excellent pesticide recoveries.
