Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is used by M-Scan for a wide range of analyses. The combination of these two powerful techniques and the extensive library of data available to assist in the identification of unknown species make GC-MS an ideal tool for a consulting analytical laboratory. M-Scan uses GC-MS for applications including:
- Carbohydrate / glycosylation analysis - monosaccharide composition analysis and linkage analysis
- Fatty acids
- Environmental analysis
- Forensic analysis
- Analysis of unknowns
- Analysis of fuels
- Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds analysed by solvent extraction GC-MS
- Analysis of additives in natural and synthetic polymers
The breadth of applications for Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is further enhanced by its combination with other techniques:
- Pyrolysis GC-MS for the analysis of solid samples eg polymers
- Thermal Desorption GC-MS for the analysis of odours and volatiles
- Headspace GC-MS for the analysis of volatiles
