Get the Most Out of Your MS: Novel Column Chemistry Raises the Bar on Sensitivity and Data Accuracy

The evolution of MS continues to push the limits of detection in GC. As source technologies advance, column technology must advance as well. For example, increased detection of analytes also results in increased detection of background like column bleed. Therefore, GC column technology that lowers bleed can enhance your sensitivity and data accuracy.

In this webinar, we’ll examine how column attributes like bleed, thermal stability, and inertness can translate into practical data quality improvements. When used in conjunction with a novel ion source, we’ll illustrate achievable data parameters like sensitivity limits at trace levels, retention time consistencies, and data accuracy for active analytes when combining both column and source technologies.
