The GC-MS Lab Equipment

The GC-MS system was upgraded to the latest industry standards in the Fall of 2009. The upgrade has proven to be beneficial with improved reliability, cross-platform compatibility (PC and Macintosh), improved hardware diagnostic capability, and ease-of-use.

The video shows the robotic features of the autosampler attached to the GC-MS. The autosampler allows us to process about 200 samples per day without the need for human interaction (after initial set-up). This automation provides for superior accuracy and precision. It also allows us to perform a wide variety of calibration standards (26 each morning) and 3 calibration standards every 10th sample throughout the entire run of samples. Although the "real" work is done inside the GC-MS, we thought you might enjoy seeing how the autosampler processes the source and ambient bottles from your AirCheck™ analyses. Watch
