Provide Labwide emergency response

Chemical Diagnostics and Engineering does gas and organic compound separation, identification and quantitative analysis by gas chromatography (GC) coupled with standard GC detectors (e.g. TCD) and/or mass spectrometry (MS), or directly by a Residual Gas Analyzer (RGA).

  • GC analysis can be performed by tradition instrumentation or micro-GC technology with analysis times from seconds to 30 minutes.  
  • Mass spectrometry supported with either quadrupole or high resolution Time of Flight mass spectrometer for exact mass measurements.
