GC-MS Analysis

Characterization of Volatile and Semi-volatile Materials by Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

Element Midland offers GC-MS testing services to separate, characterize, identify, and quantitate volatile and semi-volatile components in various sample matrices. Our state-of-the-art GC-MS analysis capabilities allow for detection of analytes to trace levels (sub part-per-billion). We utilize both purchased (NIST) and in-house spectral databases to identify unknowns. We also have chemical-ionization capabilities for identification of unknowns that do not exist in our databases. Our equipment is qualified for testing under cGMP or GLP (FDA, EPA) guidelines if needed.
