Critical Leak Requirements in GC/MS, LC/MS and Analytical Instruments

From Parker Hannifin / Automation / Precision Fluidics Division
 

 

Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) and Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) are analytical techniques used for chemical analysis. The properties of a sample are first separated using chromatography and then identified with the mass spectrometer. The equipment used for chromatography consists of an injection port at one end of a metal column packed with substrate material and a detector at the other end. A carrier gas propels the sample down the column while flow meters and pressure gauges in the instrument maintain a constant flow.
