Pesticide residues can also be found in food and crops, raising significant concerns. To ensure this is monitored correctly samples must be collected and analyzed to ensure the crops and food products meet safety standards.

Water testing is bound by stringent regulatory standards that can vary depending on geographical location. The detection of water impurities within drinking water, groundwater, and wastewater is essential to maintaining public health and environmental standards.

The major difference between a standard phase GC and a MS phase GC column, such as a SCION-1 vs a SCION-1MS, is column bleed. The column bleed causes an increase in baseline signal which is an issue when aiming to identify analytes with low signal to noise ratio.

SCION Instruments' pre-configured GC-based RGA Analyzer offer several advantages over competing systems from manufacturers like Agilent Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, or Shimadzu.

Peak integration is used for area calculation, identifying and setting method retention times which can then be used to name peaks. This is essential for determining the presence and concentration of the target compounds. Reference standards should be used to identify the RT and subsequent peak names.

At SCION we take pride in offering a comprehensive selection of high-quality scientific lab supplies, including an extensive range of Gas Chromatography (GC) consumables designed to meet the diverse demands of laboratories across various industries. Whether your focus is routine analysis or specialized applications, our consumables are engineered to deliver exceptional reliability, precision, and efficiency, empowering your laboratory to perform

Chromatography, particularly high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), plays a vital role in drug discovery. HPLC is extensively used to detect, separate, and quantify impurities in drug substances. This is vital for ensuring drug quality and safety while also meeting regulatory standards and optimizing synthetic processes.

Air analysis involves measuring and evaluating air quality samples to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

In gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), two common ionization methods are Electron Ionization (EI) and Chemical Ionization (CI).  

Impurities are an inevitable part of any chemical product, whether they arise during the manufacturing process, are by-products of synthesis, or result from the degradation of the active ingredient (AI) or other components.
