Applications

Confident profiling of controlled substances using GC–TOF MS
This study describes the use of GC–TOF MS for comprehensive profiling of seized drug samples, for confident identification of controlled substances, as well as adulterants and cutting agents.
Details
Evaluating the authenticity of branded perfumes
This study demonstrates how the comprehensive data acquired using GC×GC–TOF MS with Tandem Ionisation® can be processed in a single, automated workflow to uncover the subtle differences between brand and imitation fragrances.
Details
Fully automated on-line headspace monitoring of VOCs
This study demonstrates a fully automated GC analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the headspace of waste effluent using a flow-through cell with a sample preparation robot, and detection by FID and/or TOF MS.
