Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004760",
  "term": "Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A powerful analytical technique that combines the separation capabilities of gas chromatography with the identification capabilities of mass spectrometry. The gas chromatograph separates volatile compounds in a mixture, which are then introduced into the mass spectrometer for fragmentation and detection. This hyphenated technique provides both qualitative and quantitative information about complex samples.",
