GC-MS Interfaces

After separation in the GC column, analyte species have to be transported to the mass spectrometer to be ionized, mass filtered, and detected. The column outlet needs to be connected to the ion source of the mass spectrometer and this module presents the correct interface types for use with different GC columns and MS instrument types.

Topics include:

• Introduction
• Coupling GC to MS detectors - jet separator
• Coupling GC to MS detectors - direct interface
• Column diameter
• Interface-column coupling
