GC–MS is used for the analysis of unknown organic compound mixtures. One critical use of this technology is the use of GC–MS to determine the composition of bio-oils processed from raw biomass. [29] GC–MS is also utilized in the identification of continuous phase component in a smart material, magnetorheological (MR) fluid. [30]
Mass spectrometer (MS), also called GC-MS; highly effective and sensitive, even in a small quantity of sample. This detector can be used to identify the analytes in chromatograms by their mass spectrum. [14] Some GC-MS are connected to an NMR spectrometer which acts as a backup detector. This combination is known as GC-MS-NMR.
Pyrolysis GC/MS chromatogram of mahogany wood analyzed with OpenChrom. Pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry is a method of chemical analysis in which the sample is heated to decomposition to produce smaller molecules that are separated by gas chromatography and detected using mass spectrometry. [1] [2]
Similarly to gas chromatography MS (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS or LC-MS) separates compounds chromatographically before they are introduced to the ion source and mass spectrometer. It differs from GC-MS in that the mobile phase is liquid, usually a mixture of water and organic solvents, instead of gas.
These fragments can be separated by gas chromatography. Pyrolysis GC chromatograms are typically complex because a wide range of different decomposition products is formed. The data can either be used as fingerprints to prove material identity or the GC/MS data is used to identify individual fragments to obtain structural information.
GC-MS is the single most important analytical tool for the analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in complex mixtures. [7] It works by first injecting the sample into the GC inlet where it is vaporized and pushed through a column by a carrier gas, typically helium.
Unresolved complex mixture (UCM), or hump, is a feature frequently observed in gas chromatographic (GC) data of crude oils and extracts from organisms exposed to oil. [1] The reason for the UCM hump appearance is that GC cannot resolve and identify a significant part of the hydrocarbons in crude oils. The resolved components appear as peaks ...
Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography, or GC×GC, is a multidimensional gas chromatography technique that was originally described in 1984 by J. Calvin Giddings [1] and first successfully implemented in 1991 by John Phillips and his student Zaiyou Liu. [2] GC×GC utilizes two different columns with two different stationary phases. In ...
