✦ Synopsis

In gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with magnetic instruments and quadrupoles, skewed ('tilted') spectra are obtained owing to the changes in analyte concentrations in the source of the mass spectrometer during the measurements of one scan. Skewing depends on the ratio of cycle time to GC peak width. The combination of capillary chromatography with magnetic instruments often results in skewing to an extent that both manual and automatic processing of GC/MS data are seriously hampered. An algorithm is described to correct for this effect. The results of the unskew algorithm are evaluated on real GC/MS data.

Stable isotope methods are potentially quite useful for validating natural or enhanced mineral degradation of contaminants. For this reason, a continuous flow gas chromatograph (GC), isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) has been coupled with a quadrupole mass selective detector (MSD) to allow simu

A gas inlet module has been designed to introduce reference gases of any type, inert or combustible, into a gas chromatography/combustion -isotope ratio mass spectrometer (GC/C-IRMS) to overcome problems of mass discrimination occurring in the combustion interface. Its design permits the introductio
