Overview
Organic compounds contained in samples are analyzed using a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC/MS). Individual components are separated by the gas chromatograph (GC), and mass spectral data for each component are obtained using the mass spectrometer (MS). By comparing the acquired data with spectral databases, the organic compounds can be identified.
Applications
Component Analysis of Unknown Samples
Identification of Compounds Generated During Product Heating
Comparison of Components Among Multiple Samples
Workflow (After Your Request)
- Step 1
- Test Planning
We discuss your concerns, objectives, and sample characteristics, and then develop a test plan tailored to your requirements.
- Step 2
- Sample Collection
Samples are generally obtained using one of the following methods:
● Our survey staff visit the site and collect the samples.
● Samples are collected through demonstration or pilot testing when necessary.
● Samples are sent to us directly by the customer.
- Step 3
- Analysis
Components are extracted from the sample using organic solvents and analyzed qualitatively using GC/MS.
The analytical results are provided to the customer in the form of a report.
Features
We work closely with our customers to develop and carry out test plans that best address their needs and objectives.
Notes
● Non-volatile compounds and compounds that are not registered in the mass spectral database cannot be identified through qualitative analysis.
● Whether quantitative analysis of the identified compounds can be performed must be evaluated separately.
