Nutraceuticals & Alternative Medicine
GC-VUV provides unambiguous identification and quantitation of alternative medicine contaminants and adulterants. Compounds are unambiguously identified and quantitated, and software automation makes data analysis accessible to users of all skill levels.
Known advantages of VUV Spectroscopy
- Provides both qualitative and quantitative characterization of alternative medicine and related contaminants
- The capability of characterizing isomeric impurities without need for chromatographic baseline resolution
- Software deconvolution of analyte co-elution allows short GC chromatographic compression
- Intuitive data processing workflow and software automation remove analytical complexity
- Robust instrumentation with minimal maintenance needs
- Easy to understand analysis by Beer-Lambert Law (same principle used in UV-Vis spectroscopy)

Solving Analytical Challenges in Nutraceuticals & Alternative Medicine
Key Features of VUV Spectroscopy
- High degree of data analysis automation reduces human error
- Intuitive spectral fingerprint compound identification and Beer’s Law quantitation eliminates guesswork
- Software deconvolution of co-eluting analytes allows chromatography runtimes to be deliberately compressed
- Proprietary algorithms automate compound class characterization
Spectral Indentification

Shining a new light in gas chromatography and streaming gas applications.
Everything absorbs strongly in the VUV spectrum. Compounds can be unambiguously identified and quantitated in a variety of applications including oil & gas, forensics, fragrances & flavors, petrochemical, environmental, and life science. VUV detectors provide unmatched selectivity of isomers and co-eluting analytes without the need for chromatographic baseline resolution. Unlike legacy detection methods, VUV spectroscopy allows for more automated analysis with lower risk of errors, shorter chromatography run times, and higher analytical throughput.
- Universal, yet selective detector with very sensitive spectral response
- Easy deconvolution and quantitation of co‑eluting analytes
- Robust technology with no reliance on vacuum pumps
- No calibration required – 1st principle detection technique provides a predictable linear response
- Complements mass spectrometry by fully characterizing isomers and compounds with low mass quant ions
