TAKING MASS SPECTROMETRY TO THE NEXT LEVEL

AutoConcept Environmental Applications

Protocols for environmental contaminant analysis specify high resolution mass spectrometry as the preferred detection method following high resolution gas chromatography.  Only this level of instrumentation can eliminate responses from other materials present in complex matrices at sufficiently high sensitivity. AutoConcept is an excellent choice for these dedicated analyses, in particular those with exacting requirements such as the dioxin and furan protocols specified by methods US EPA 1613 and EN 1948.
