Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) combines two sophisticated methods to identify chemicals. Although GC-MS studies may be used with solid, gaseous, and liquid samples, they are most often limited to volatile and semi-volatile substances. The components of a mixture are separated … Read more
