Back to Basics – GCMS

Join us in this live webinar, as our speakers take you on a virtual tour to our laboratories in Germany and Italy.

There is a myriad of analytical challenges when performing analysis with GC-MS and one of the first is configuring the correct GC instrumentation for the application at hand. You will get to learn the key aspects of selecting the right GC instrumentation for your application, the benefits of GC-MS, advantages of moving to GC-MS/MS as well as what high resolution Orbitrap GC-MS can offer. Theory and real-world data examples will be given to highlight the benefits and limitations of each technique. Analysis of pesticides, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and PFAS will also be covered during this interactive session.
