Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is integral to the analysis of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in environmental matrices. Recent pressure on the helium (He) supply has required organizations to actively investigate hydrogen (H2 ) carrier gas, but most GC/MS analyses have reduced sensitivity and hydrogenation or dechlorination in the sources. The Agilent HydroInert source retains the ability to analyze a wide calibration range (0.1 to 100 µg/mL) and meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method 8270 calibration criteria when using H2 carrier gas.
Inside the Laboratory –– Women in Separation Science Edition
April 25th 2024Inside the Laboratory is a joint series with LCGC and Spectroscopy, profiling analytical scientists and their research groups at universities all over the world. This series spotlights the current chromatographic and spectroscopic research their groups are conducting, and the importance of their research in analytical chemistry and specific industries. In this “Inside the Laboratory –– Women in Separation Science” special edition PDF, we profile four industry leaders and the impact that their research is having in specific fields such as environmental analysis, forensics, national security, and drug development.
