Description

A gas chromatograph coupled with a tandem mass spectrometer enables the analysis of volatile and semivolatile compounds. It is characterized by a very high sensitivity and allows obtaining specific and unique fragments of the tested compounds. Thanks to the extensive database, it is possible to identify unknown compounds by means of obtained mass spectra. In addition, the instrument is equipped with an automatic liquid sampler, enables the headspace analysis and has a special attachment for automatic thermal desorption.

Access rules

Access rules

The rules of using the equipment will be consistent with the research infrastructure management system being developed. The elements of this system include the method of reporting the demand for the performance of tests, the appointment of a person responsible for the performance of the tests, and the rules governing the intellectual property of the results. An element of the system will also be the settlement for the performed tests, allowing for free testing (in the case of joint publication or on the basis of reciprocity using the apparatus).
