Small Molecule
Gas-Chromatography MS
GC-MS is used for the detection, identification, and quantification of small, semi-volatile and volatile organic compounds.
Overview
Ideal for detection, identification and quantification of targeted semi-volatile and volatile organic compounds. High throughput, reproducible, easy to use.
Software
Analysis for GC-MS data is supported by the following software:
- MassHunter
- Chemstation
- AMDIS
- NIST08
Access to the above software is available on a PC in 301-515 or on the Small molecules Virtual Machine.
Support
Email Githal Arachchige for all enquiries related to small molecule GC-MS.
Considerations
- User need to do sample prep themselve and provide SPME fibre if doing SPME
- Data analysis, data management, and quality of data are solely the responsibility of the user.
Limitations
Small, volatile or semi-volatile molecules only. We are not an accredited lab so any findings cannot be used as official diagnostic tools, food safety measures, or quality assurance testing.
Cost
Per sample costing. Contact Githal Arachchige for details.
Eligibility
University of Auckland students and staff..
Access Requirements
The GC-MS facility is housed on the Main Campus in the School of Chemical Sciences (Building 301).
