Hyphenated GC Methods: GC-VUV Spectroscopy Complements GC-Mass Spectrometry
[LCGC Blog]: Dr. Kevin A. Schug, University of Texas, Arlington
GC–VUV is highly complementary to GC–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). GC–VUV excels in isomer differentiation and peak deconvolution. Electronic absorption of light in the 120–240 nm wavelength range…
