Using Hydrogen Carrier Gas with Mass Spectrometric Detection

Our recent discussion on the use of hydrogen as a carrier for gas chromatography applications elicited many questions and comments, however one common question was "what are the considerations for using hydrogen carrier with MS detectors?" Read more

New Leak Detector

Redesigned and better than ever, Restek's electronic leak detector lets you pinpoint small gas leaks quickly and accurately. Now, there's no more waiting for a full charge–the new unit can be operated during charging or used up to 12 hours between charges. It now comes with a flexible charging kit that includes both a universal AC power adaptor and a USB charging.

Solid-Phase Microextraction Combined with Flow-Modulated Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography for Screening Leachables in the Pharmaceutical Industry

A simple, fully-automated method is proposed to analyze extractables and leachables–compounds that are released from packing materials into drugs during storage–using SPME–GC×GC–MS. This method avoids the use of sample preparation solvents and reduces sample handling, and is ideal for routine use in quality control. Read more

Thinking Small

Pascal Cardinael and Valérie Agasse from the University of Rouen, in Mont-Saint-Aignan, France, reveal the rationale behind miniaturization and the latest developments in miniaturized gas chromatography (GC). Read more
