| 203-821-408 | Analysis of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Fish Oil Supplements by Gas Chromatography with High-Performance Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry The American Heart Association recommends eating two servings of fish per week, specifically fish with high fat content such as tuna and salmon. In this study, the advantages of using the Pegasus GC-HRT to analyze complex matrices such as fish oil are highlighted. |
| 203-821-247 | GCxGC-ECD of Organochlorine Pesticides in Cucumber and Tomato |
| 203-821-359 | Moisture and Ash Determination in Flour TGA701 |
| 203-821-477 | Differential Analysis of Olive Oils with Pegasus GC-HRT and ChromaTOF-HRT Reference Feature |
| 203-821-525 | Analysis of Fats in Food Products with GC-TOFMS Reporting the fat content of food on packaging material is required for many products. For this reason, the ability to detect and distinguish different types of fats is important. The AOAC has an official method, Method 996.06, for the detection of fats (total, saturated, and unsaturated) that uses GC paired with FID to separate fatty acids, derivatized with methylation. |
