GAS CHROMATOGRAPH MASS SPECTROMETER [3 records]

Record 1 2014-05-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Equipment (Chemistry)
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

... most substances are mixtures of more than one component. As a result, other technologies are often needed to analyze them. One such device is the gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer(GC-MS). The GC-MS is actually two instruments in one. The gas chromatograph(GC) uses heat and solvents to separate the substance into its various components. The mass spectrometer then bombards those separate components with ions, causing them to fragment.

Une fois transférées dans les fioles de 2 mL, les solutions étalons subissent le même traitement que les échantillons jusqu’à l’analyse, c’est-à-dire qu’elles sont placées sur un agitateur mécanique pendant 30 minutes pour ensuite être analysées par le chromatographe en phase gazeuse couplé au spectromètre de masse.

The Aerosol Collector and Pyrolyser will deploy a filter out in front of the probe to sample the aerosols during the descent and prepare the collected matter(by evaporation, pyrolysis and gas product transfer) for analysis by the Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer(GCMS). Two samples will be collected : one from the top of the descent down to the tropopause(160-40 km) and the second sample above the cloud layer(23-17 km).

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Food Additives
CONT

Flavor Chemistry. The flavor chemistry laboratory can analyze for most food flavorants, particularly volatile aroma compounds. Equipped with high resolution gas and liquid chromatographs, a mass spectrometer and two high resolution gas chromatograph-olfactometers(GCO), the flavor laboratory can measure both desirable and off-flavor substances in many kinds of foods.
