GCMS application combines the features of gas-chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample.[1]Applications of GCMS include drug detection, fire investigation, environmental analysis, explosives investigation, and identification of unknown samples, including that of material samples obtained from planet Mars during probe missions as early as the 1970s. GCMS can also be used in airport security to detect substances in luggage or on human beings. Additionally, it can identify trace elements in materials that were previously thought to have disintegrated beyond identification. Like liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, it allows analysis and detection even of tiny amounts of a substance.
GCMS has been regarded as a “gold standard” for forensic substance identification because it is used to perform a 100% specific test, which positively identifies the presence of a particular substance. A nonspecific test merely indicates that any of several in a category of substances is present. Although a nonspecific test could statistically suggest the identity of the substance, this could lead to false positive identification.AIBiolabs uses GCMS application for multi-vitamins, botanicals active ingredients, OTC, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods nutritionals/labels, supplements, containment, environmental, drug discovery, forensic, and toxicology.
