An introduction to low-pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS)

28 Aug 2024

Low-pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS) is a technique that uses the MS vacuum system, along with a specially designed column setup, to lower pressure inside the entire column, thereby significantly speeding up analysis. In addition to the speed benefit, LPGC-MS can also provide a cost saving by dramatically reducing helium consumption. Explore how to utilize LPGC-MS and specially designed, pre-connected LPGC column kits from Restek to speed up gas chromatographic analyses. Discover how the LPGC column kit can be used for vacuum-outlet GC-MS, easily increasing your instrument's productivity.
