Product news

The SelectScience Editors are pleased to announce a complimentary, educational webinar entitled “Become a Smooth GC and GC-MS Operator,” featuring guest speaker Eric Phillips.

Does your GC or GC-MS system need a tune up? Everyone faces common challenges presented by the constant operation of laboratory instrumentation. When you are faced with unscheduled or unplanned delays due to system or method failures, smooth your operations by becoming well versed in the maintenance and optimization of your GC and GC-MS systems.

In this webinar you will learn how to clearly define your instrument problems, how to identify possible solutions and implement the changes needed to ensure optimal results every time.

Eric Phillips, Senior Global Applied Markets Manager for the GC and GC/MS product line at Thermo Fisher Scientific, holds a BS in Chemistry from the University of North Florida and an MBA from the University of Phoenix. Eric began his career working in an environmental laboratory managing the extractions laboratory and analyzing samples using GC and GC/MS. Eric currently focuses on bringing solutions across the product lines and technologies to the modern chromatography laboratory.

Dr. Ami Miller, Associate Editor at SelectScience, will be leading a live Q&A with Eric Phillips following the webinar.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
