Technical Advances in Process GC-MS

A gas chromatograph utilizing a mass spectrometer for analyte detection (GC-MS) allows for very sensitive and unambiguous analyte quantification. Until now, GC-MS has been restricted to the laboratory which can mean waiting hours to days for your results. Not any more! Now you can examine process streams for PPB-levels of critical analytes such as halides, sulfurs, oxygenates, and more.

We love GC-MS! Why?

Gas chromatography coupled with the sensitivity and specificity of mass spectrometry allows for:

• ppb-level detection of the analytes you really need to see
• unambiguous quantitation of co-eluting compounds
• identification of the compound causing that mystery peak in your chromatogram
• removal of the guesswork in your chromatography!

Here's what you'll learn:

• Basic principles of GC-MS
• How GC-MS can help you quantify ppb-level analytes.
• Examples of ppb detection of analytes of interest to petrochemical, monomer, fuels, and specialty chemical producers.
• How Wasson-ECE is bringing GC-MS out of the lab and in to process environments.
