LabRulez: Selection of GC and GC/MS Tips and Tricks webinars in H1/2024

We bring you a selection of the latest GC and GC/MS webinars focusing on Tips and Tricks, maintenance or troubleshooting available on demand from the recording and held in H1/2024.

👉 Overview of all GC & GC/MS Tips and Tricks WEBINARS

👉 Search and filter in the largest global database with over 3 500 GC, LC, MS and spectroscopy webinars.

Below are some tips and tricks, highlighting key aspects to monitor, optimize, and important parameters to consider for optimal GC performance
1. What to consider in gas chromatography analyses:
  • Sample Contamination: Ensure samples are clean and free of contaminants that could distort analytical results. Employ appropriate methods for sample cleaning and storage.

  • Carrier Gas Quality: Use high-purity carrier gases (e.g., helium, nitrogen, or hydrogen). Contamination of gases with moisture or other impurities can significantly affect analysis results.

  • Instrument Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the injector, column, and detector. Deposits and impurities can negatively impact chromatographic separation and detection sensitivity.

  • Sample Stability: Ensure samples are stable and do not degrade before analysis. Use appropriate storage and sample preparation conditions.

2. Optimization Targets
  • Injector and Column Temperature: Temperature optimization is crucial for effective separation. The injector temperature should be high enough to ensure complete vaporization of the sample without analyte degradation.

  • Carrier Gas Flow Rate: Optimizing the carrier gas flow rate (usually measured in ml/min) is key to improving separation efficiency and analysis sensitivity.

  • Column Type and Length: Selecting the appropriate column (e.g., polarity, length, diameter) is critical for achieving the desired separation. The polarity of the column should be chosen based on the nature of the analyzed compounds.

  • Detector Settings: Optimizing detector parameters (e.g., voltage, temperature) can enhance detection sensitivity and selectivity.
