Improved laboratory productivity with a single GC-MS/MS configuration for multipurpose environmental analysis
15 Aug 2024In the field of environmental monitoring, a large variety of compound classes may be required for analysis, including both common and emerging contaminants. Currently, samples often undergo several analyses on different instrument configurations, requiring a variety of protocols and instrument setups in the same laboratory. Thermo Fisher Scientific highlights a single instrument configuration, based on triple quadrupole GC-MS, to perform the analysis of various compound classes commonly monitored in the environment. Discover how this enables environmental laboratories to standardize on a single hardware configuration, facilitating laboratory capacity and simplifying workflows.

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.
