Gas Chromatography

Gas Chromatography Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID)

Brand: Agilent

Model: GC 6890N

Function: Gas chromatography (GC) is a common type of chromatography used in analytical chemistry for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. Typical uses of GC include testing the purity of a particular substance, or separating the different components of a mixture.

Minimum sample requirement: 1.5 ml (methylated sample)

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

Brand: Agilent

Model: GCMS 7890A

Function: This instrument is used for the determination of the structure of a substance or a mixture of components through the mass spectrum produced; mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). GCMS is widely used in studies such as environmental pollution, petrochemicals, agriculture and the identification of the structure of natural products, pesticides and other pharmaceutical substances in a mixture.

Minimum sample requirement: 1.5 ml (methylated sample)

NOTE: The GC-MS is currently undergoing maintenance. Any analysis orders are temporarily closed.
