Analysis of Environmental Samples with a Novel Atmospheric Pressure GC Source to High-Resolution TOF-MS Analysis
28 Aug 2014In this poster a GC-APCI source is couples to a high-resolution Q-TOF-MS, this is used for GC/MS analysis of PAH, pesticide and explosive standards and of soil, sediment and sludge samples of environmental origin.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.

They are classed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and can be harmful to humans. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently regulates the use of pesticides in the USA. Soil TestingSoil testing helps determine the nutrient content, pH level, and other factors affecting soil health. This information is critical for agriculture, environmental science, and land management.
