GCMSsolution

This system allows the on-column derivatization using auto-injector AOC-30i and a LabSolutions GCMS system that is now equipped with 2-step injection. On-column derivatization allows for the direct analysis of extracted urine samples without additional sample pretreatment, which can significantly shorten the time required for derivatization.

In this webinar, we will explore how Shimadzu’s latest GC-MS instruments, in combination with the multi-platform software LabSolutions and LabSolutions Insight, enable successful detection, quantitation, and suspect screening of VOCs and SVOCs. Plus, discover how these tools support EPA methods, from initial sample analysis to final data reporting.

The next-generation GCMS-QP2050 gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, with its accumulation of impressive Shimadzu technology, will lead the way forward. New value is provided by hardware boasting astounding reliability and stability, and easy-to-operate software equipped with superior automated technology.

Even though Ethylene oxide (EtO / EO) is well-known to be a toxic compound with carcinogenic and mutagenic concerns, it has been widely used for fumigation in the food industry because it effectively reduces or eliminates microbiological contamination with bacteria/fungi. The recent recall of food products exported to the EU due to non-compliance with EU regulations has highlighted the importance of quantitation of EtO and 2-CE residues in food.

This issue focuses on "Forensics / Toxicology", an area where science and technology are particularly important and needed. It starts with two customer interviews.
