GC-MS Analysis Services

Our Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis services provide precise identification and quantification of organic compounds. Whether detecting trace contaminants or analyzing complex mixtures, our GC-MS testing ensures accurate results.

Advantages of GC-MS Testing

• High Sensitivity: Detect chemical species at parts per billion (ppb) concentrations.
• Versatile Sample Types: Analyze gas, liquid, and solid samples.
• Comprehensive Detection: Equipped with both Flame Ionization Detector (FID) and Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD).

Key GC-MS Services and Applications

• Organic Compound Identification:
  • Separate and identify organic compounds in mixtures.
  • Analyze additive components of polymers.
  • Identify residual solvents in pharmaceuticals.
• Trace Contaminant Detection:
  • Measure trace contaminants in liquids and gases.
  • Detect substances restricted by RoHS and California Prop 65.
• Polymer and Additive Analysis:
  • Detect Bisphenol A (BPA) in plastics.
  • Analyze volatile components of adhesives and sealants during curing processes.
  • Identify short chain length silicone impurities.
• Quality Control:
  • Verify material composition.
  • Detect residual solvents in products.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
• VOC Emissions Analysis:
  • Analyze volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from various products like pesticides, paints, and insulation materials.
• Odor and Outgassed Gas Identification:
  • Identify and analyze gases causing odors.
  • Detect organic contaminants removed from surfaces.

Sample Extraction Methods

• Solvent Extraction: Use solvents like hexane or acetone to extract chemicals for injection.
• HS-SPME: Extract volatile organic compounds using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction.

Example GC-MS Analyses

• Siloxane Separation: Identify various siloxanes in a mixture.
• High Sensitivity Detection: Detect Octafluoronaphthalene at 5 fg levels.
• Caffeine and Theobromine Analysis: Extract and analyze these compounds from cocoa powder.
• Propylene Glycol Purity Check: Ensure no contamination from previous analyses.

Standard Test Methods

• ASTM D1945: Analysis of Natural Gas by Gas Chromatography.
• ASTM D5830: Solvents Analysis in Hazardous Waste.
• EPA Method 8015D: Analysis of Nonhalogenated Organics Using GC/FID.
