Features and Applications of Newly-Developed GC-TOFMS
From JEOL USA, Inc.
 

 
A gas-chromatograph mass spectrometer (GC-MS) is a combined analyzer that has superior ability in analyzing organic compounds qualitatively and quantitatively. The first part, gas chromatograph, separates the compounds included in a sample (mixture), then the second part, mass spectrometer, obtains mass spectra of the compounds to carry out qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis can be carried out as well from the peak area of the mass chromatogram of the compound. As a mass spectrometer of a GC-MS system, several types of mass spectrometers are on the market, such as magnetic field, quadrupole (QMS), ion trap (ITD), and time-of-flight (TOF). Each mass spectrometer has its own features and applications. By the way, "fast GC", one of the GC methods, has become to attract attention recently. The fast GC method can shorten the analysis time remarkably while keeping a good separation ability equal to the conventional GC methods, by using a narrow and short column of about 0.1 mm inside diameter and 10 m long
