An introduction to low-pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS)
Low-pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS) is a technique that uses the MS vacuum system, along with a specially designed column setup, to lower pressure inside the entire column, thereby significantly speeding up analysis. In addition to the speed benefit, LPGC-MS can also provide a cost saving by dramatically reducing helium consumption. Explore how to utilize LPGC-MS and specially designed, pre-connected LPGC column kits from Restek to speed up gas chromatographic analyses. Discover how the LPGC column kit can be used for vacuum-outlet GC-MS, easily increasing your instrument's productivity.
Multiresidue pesticides analysis in food with an LPGC Rtx-5ms Column Kit
Multiresidue pesticides analysis is a cornerstone of food safety testing, and labs often require faster GC-MS and GC-MS/MS methods. Low-pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS) is option that can provide significant speed gains, but, historically, the challenging setup has been a barrier to implementation. Restek highlights how it carried out an LPGC-MS pesticides analysis of 209 compounds in strawberries that utilized its LPGC Rtx-5ms Column Kit. The LPGC Rtx-5ms Column Kit has been specifically designed so it can easily be installed into GC-MS or GC-MS/MS systems. Restek details how the kit can provide 3.1x faster multiresidue pesticides analysis in foods with 54% less helium consumption, and how its integrated transfer line helps to reduce background and stabilization time.
