GC-MS, FHNW School of Life Sciences

School of Life Sciences


Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for substance analysis

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a specialised analytical technique used to separate complex mixtures, quantify analytes, identify peaks and determine traces of contaminants. It is used in a range of applications, including food analysis, residue analysis, environmental analysis, toxicology and others.

We offer GC-MS services for large companies, start-ups, universities and other partners. Collaborative projects are always tailored to the specific problem at hand. Our work covers the entire spectrum, from sample preparation and development to method validation (if requested by the customer), analysis and evaluation.

Substance classes

We analyse volatile and gaseous substances, as well as less volatile substances after derivatisation.

  • Flavourings
  • Solvents
  • Pesticides
  • Fats and oils
  • Residues (e.g. in drinking water)
  • Metabolites
  • Hormones

Equipment

  • GC-MS Agilent 5977B with GC 7890B, EI with high efficiency source (demo unit)
  • GC-MS Leco TOF with Agilent 7890 GC
  • GC-MS Agilent 5973N with GC 6890N, EI
  • GC-MS Varian 320 Tripple Quad with GC CP-3800, EI and C
