GC-MS

Method is suitable for all organic liquids and solids (with extraction) with boiling point under 300ºC. Specific type of substance is not required to know before hand. It is possible to separate different substances, concentrations, quantities and qualities.

 Gas chromatography is used for various environment sample analyses, such as pesticide, poly halogenated- and poly aromatic hydrocarbon and dioxin definitions from water, air, soil or plants. Typically a pre-treating extraction technique is needed. Gas chromatography is also used for detecting evaporating compounds from groceries.

GC-FID

Method is suitable for nearly all organic compounds excluding those compounds which do not burn or ionise in hydrogen/air-flame. Analysis gives the quantity of the known substance as a result.
