What are GC/MS Analysis Services at Element?
GC/MS analysis is a highly sensitive technique that combines gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to separate, identify, and quantify individual components within complex mixtures. It is particularly effective for detecting volatile and semi-volatile compounds at trace levels. At Element, we provide both liquid injection for direct sample introduction and thermal desorption for solid-phase analysis, minimizing sample consumption while ensuring precise identification and quantification, even in low-concentration samples.

Frequently asked questions
What detection limits can GC/MS analysis achieve?
Our advanced equipment can detect compounds in the parts per billion or parts per trillion range, providing exceptional accuracy for trace analysis.
How do you handle samples with multiple compounds?
We use specialized separation techniques and may require multiple samples to deliver comprehensive, accurate results for complex mixtures.
What are the benefits of thermal desorption in GC/MS analysis?
Thermal desorption allows us to analyze solid samples with minimal consumption. By heating the sample to release volatile components, we ensure accurate identification without using excessive sample material. This is particularly valuable for trace compound analysis where only small quantities are available.
