New GC Instruments and Accessories at the 51st Pittsburgh Conference
John Hinshaw reviews the new gas chromatography instrumentation and accessories introduced at Pittcon this year.
LCGC 18(5), 488–498 (2000).
Sorbonne Researchers Develop Miniaturized GC Detector for VOC Analysis
April 16th 2025A team of scientists from the Paris university developed and optimized MAVERIC, a miniaturized and autonomous gas chromatography (GC) system coupled to a nano-gravimetric detector (NGD) based on a NEMS (nano-electromechanical-system) resonator.
Miniaturized GC–MS Method for BVOC Analysis of Spanish Trees
April 16th 2025University of Valladolid scientists used a miniaturized method for analyzing biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted by tree species, using headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–QTOF-MS) has been developed.
Fundamentals of Benchtop GC–MS Data Analysis and Terminology
April 5th 2025In this installment, we will review the fundamental terminology and data analysis principles in benchtop GC–MS. We will compare the three modes of analysis—full scan, extracted ion chromatograms, and selected ion monitoring—and see how each is used for quantitative and quantitative analysis.
