Gas Chromatography – Webinars and Online Events

The discussion will explore key challenges faced by the industry, technological innovations driving change and emerging trends that are shaping the future of pesticide analysis.

Our expert speakers will explore how on-site gas generation for LC-MS and gas chromatography compares to traditional supplies like cylinders and dewars, illustrating the environmental benefits from gas deliveries to power consumption.

Explore the latest knowledge on the safety, authenticity and quality of food and beverages, as well as the technology that supports the critical work done to ensure the integrity of the food supply chain.

The presence and impacts of microplastics are being extensively researched and reviewed, especially in the marine environment. However, the accumulation and ecotoxicity of leaching compounds such as additives in plastic waste are scarcely studied.
This webinar explores how leachates from microplastics and other plastic materials accumulate within edible and non-edible root vegetables and how they are then incorporated into the food chain.
Our expert speaker will discuss the results of their research into the levels of leachates in root vegetables, illustrating how plastic-associated compounds were quantified using a novel static headspace and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SHS-GC-MS) workflow.

This presentation will focus on the shift towards hydrogen as a carrier gas in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), motivated by helium's scarcity and high cost. It will discuss the benefits of hydrogen and address challenges like safety and the impact on analytical accuracy.

Recent technological advancements have greatly expanded the options for high-quality mass spectrometry equipment. With significant progress in GC-MS, LC-MS, and gas generators, critical analyses can now be conducted with enhanced effectiveness and efficiency.

In the first part of this webinar, Kirk will talk about headspace sampling and GC-MS measurement of residual solvents using the JEOL JMS-Q1500GC quadrupole GC-MS system, and how the technique can meet California’s minimum reporting limits.

In this presentation we will learn how Valisure, an online pharmacy and analytical laboratory, tested and detected high levels of benzene and other contaminants in specific batches of hand sanitizer products containing active pharmaceutical ingredients of ethanol and isopropanol. In addition to being contaminated, the tested hand sanitizer batches were inconsistent with U.S.

Cannabis pesticide testing is challenging due to the variety of pesticides analyzed, low level detection expectations and the challenging matrix that cannabis and cannabis-infused products often present.

Watch this webinar to learn more about recent innovations in GC/MS technologies,
key parameters for success with the purge and trap method and an efficient way to build both the quantitation method and VOCs library using spectral deconvolution.
