GC x GC(qMS) Comprehensive Chromatography reveals that in chemical terms the world is much more complex than one-dimensional separation techniques show. Almost any matrix consists of much more chemical species than detected previously. In Comprehensive Chromatography two columns of different stationary phases are used to achieve a 2 dimensional separation.
GC x GC(qMS) targets applications of qualitative and quantitative analysis of natural products such as petrochemical samples and flavor and fragrance compounds. But also environmental, clinical or biological samples e.g. plant tissue extracts can be analyzed.
The GC-2010 and the Zoex modulator are a perfect match for Comprehensive GC. The very fast detectors enable the correct representation of the very narrow peaks obtained. The GCMS-QP2010 Plus features the fastest acquisition rates in a quadrupole instrument with a maximum of 50 scans per second and is therefore equally suited for Comprehensive GCMS.
