Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS)

Need to check an essential oil, flavoring or another product with volatile ingredients? We can identify substances in your sample, look for the components of interest and compare batches. Under an agreed method, we can also measure selected substances.

What gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and flame ionization detection (GC–MS/FID) can reveal

Mass spectrometry helps identify substances in a sample. Flame ionization detection can also support quantitative analysis under a suitable method.

  • Identify substances from their mass spectra.
  • Check for volatile organic compounds.
  • Measure components in mixtures under an agreed method.
  • Analyze flavorings and essential oils.
  • Analyze the fatty acid profile of fats and oils after sample preparation.

How to request an analysis

Tell us what you want to check, what kind of sample you have and whether you need a quantitative result. We will confirm whether we can analyze it and how to prepare the sample.
