Connecting Performance Improvement to Increased Production in GC/MS Analytical Workflows

Today’s GC/MS analytical workflows demand maximum sensitivity and selectivity to operate at the highest performance and obtain peak lab productivity. To get the best results out of your GC/MS instrument, choosing the right MS-grade Ultra Inert GC columns and supplies are just as important as making sure your mass spec is operating at its best.

This webinar will go over some of the Ultra Inert GC columns, liners and supplies, including gold-seals and novel gold-coated ferrules that are critical to achieve optimal performance even for low-trace level analysis and deliver consistent reliable results.

By attending this webinar you will learn about:

• Minimizing downtime and maximizing lifetime and sensitivity with the best supplies
• The What, Why, and How of using Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) devices
• Pre-swaging, installing, leak-checking and using flexible metal ferrules in your GC/MS system for trace level analyses
• Optimal conditions for running GC/MS and GC/MS/MS for trace analyses
• Selecting the right column type for your application.
