GCMS
Definition
GC-MS stands for Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. It is a powerful analytical technique used in chemistry and biochemistry to identify and quantify the chemical composition of complex mixtures of substances. GC-MS combines two separate analytical techniques, gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS), into a single instrument.
Definition and Description
GC-MS, or Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, is an influential analytical method in the fields of chemistry and biochemistry. Its primary purpose is to determine and measure the chemical constituents within intricate mixtures of substances. GC-MS achieves this by merging two distinct analytical techniques, namely gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS), within a single instrument.
