The injector is a heated or cold chamber with a glass liner. The glass liner is an inert glass tube which prevents active sites and helps focus the sample onto the column. A sample which can be either liquid or gas is manually or automatically injected through a septum into the injector. Heated injectors vaporize liquid samples and mix it

Gas chromatography (GC) is a powerful analytical technique widely used to identify the source and composition of refinery gases. Its benefits include:

Chromatography encompasses a broad spectrum of techniques and instrumentation tailored to diverse analytical applications. At SCION, we offer a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art chromatography solutions to meet varied research and testing needs.

The pharmaceutical industry encompasses the development, manufacturing, and distribution of drugs and medications designed to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. Pharmaceutical analysis plays a vital role in global healthcare by researching and producing innovative therapies that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Full Scan and SIM (Selected Ion Monitoring) are two different data acquisition modes used in Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry, and each has specific applications depending on the requirements of the analysis.

In a SQ-MS, a single quadrupole serves as either a mass filter or a mass scanning device. It selectively transmits ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z), allowing for basic mass analysis.  In contrast, a TQ-MS features three quadrupoles within one instrument, providing significantly enhanced functionality and higher selectivity compared to a single quadrupole. In this system, the first and third

Mass spectrometry (MS) measures the mass to charge ratio (m/z) of one or more compounds present within a sample. The measurements that are produced from the mass spectrometer can be used to calculate the molecular weight of the components of a sample. Mass spectrometry is often used to identify unknown compounds by their molecular weight and by fragmentation pattern to

Single Quadrupole (SQ) and Triple Quadrupole (TQ) mass spectrometers are both powerful tools used for analytical chemistry. To help you decide how to invest your analytical budget, lets look at  the different types of applications they are each suited for
