10th International Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography
Gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry is an Instrumental and analytical
technique which is a combination of both mass spectrometry and chromatography
which is utilized for separating, identifying and quantifying complex chemical
mixture. the substrate mixture is vaporized and then the mixture is separated
by gas chromatography followed by mass spectrometry where ions are produced for
further separation. Ionisation Method is mainly utilized for the ions production in Gas chromatography- mass
spectrometry process
Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry technique is highly
utilized in in Drug detection, Fire investigation and Environmental analysis. It allows the analysis and detection of tiny
amounts in a substance
GC-MS is used as a forensic substance which positively identifies the presence of a
particular substance. Gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) are
two instrumental methods of analysis and they can be linked together as GC-MS
to allow substances in a sample to be separated and then identified.
Applications of Gas chromatography and mass
spectrometry:
Chemical engineering: GC-MS is used for the analysis of unknown
organic compound mixtures. Gas chromatography and mass
spectrometry is used to determine the composition of bio-oils processed
from the raw biomass
Chemical warfare agent detection: mass spectrometry have been modified for field portability and
near real-time detection of chemical warfare agents These complex and
large GC-MS systems have been modified and configured with resistively heated
low thermal mass gas chromatographs that reduce analysis time
Anti-doping analysis: GC-MS is the main tool used in sports anti-doping laboratories to test
athletes for the performance-enhancing drugs
Food and perfume analysis: Foods and beverages contain numerous aromatic
compounds and some naturally raw materials during processing
. It is also used to detect and measure polluting from spoilage or adulteration which is harmful and which is
often controlled by governmental agencies, for example pesticides.
Medicine: GC-MS can determine compounds in urine even in minor concentration.
These compounds are normally not present but appear in individuals suffering
with metabolic disorders. This is increasingly becoming a common way to
diagnose.
