General description
Application
Also used in:
- analysis of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons in vegetable oils by LC-GC interface.
- studies on sugars and organic acids in biological matrices using GC coupled to triple quadruple mass spectrometry (QqQ-MS).
Features and Benefits
- no ghost peaks
- full reproducibility
- extends the lifetime of columns
- optimized and tested for LC-MS applications
- minimal background ion suppression
- reduced risk of contamination
- less exposure to hazardous chemicals
