Mass Spectrometry Analysis Service—Agilent 5973 Inert GC/MS

Summary

The gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) experiments are performed on the Agilent 5973 Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer. The sample is first resolved into its components in the GC using a DB5 column and the effluent detected by generating positive ions in the electron ionization source and performing quadrupole mass analysis on these ions. Typically, 1 µL of a 1 mg/mL solution is injected into the GC mass spectrometer. It has a scan speed of 10,000 amu/s.
