► App Note | Characterizing Extractables by GC×GC & HR-TOFMS
Answer:
Gas chromatography separates components in a mixture by utilizing a thin silica tube coated with a stationary phase. The components, carried by a gas (the mobile phase), move at different speeds based on their affinities for the stationary phase. This differential migration leads to the separation of the components, allowing for their individual analysis and identification.

LECO uses Agilent 8890 chromatography. The gas chromatograph includes the following features:
Answer:
The LECO mass spectrometer is connected to the GC via a heated transfer line. The LECO GC-TOF allows you to have a 'full range' acquisition, without compromise, then a targeted and/or non-targeted data exploitation depending on what you want to do.
It consists of an EI (Electronic Impact) source, a 70 cm flight tube, a reflectron and a detector. Vacuum is provided by an internal turbomolecular pump connected to an external secondary pump.
Answer:
The mass range of the Pegasus BT is from 10 to 1500 m/z. All masses are collected all the time, unlike quadrupole instruments that collect a single mass at a time (quadrupole scanning mode is single ion monitoring, SIM, quickly scanning across the mass range).
Answer:

Answer:
By examining the chemical composition of inks and pigments, GC×GC-TOFMS provides insights into the materials used in Islamic calligraphy and manuscripts, aiding in their preservation and authentication. An example of similar work can be read in this publication on analysing the paints used by Leonardo Da Vinci.
Answer:
LECO’s GC×GC-TOFMS system utilizes two columns with different separation mechanisms, providing enhanced chromatographic resolution for the analysis of complex mixtures. In one dimension the analytes are separated by polarity, or according to boiling point. An additional dimension separates according to an alternative property, of which there are many. This results in a 3D image – the two dimensions of separation and the abundance of the analytes in the third dimension.
Answer:
LECO's StayClean® ion source originates in the requirement for a fast source to match the speed of the TOFMS. Accomplished by reducing ion to ion interactions, such as with the walls of the source. The source was thus designed without walls – so there is nothing to clean. Massively reduced downtimes, especially for complex matrices and more reproducible results.

The innovative Multi-Mode Source™ (MMS™) takes all of the advantages of the three most common ionization modes – Electron Ionization (EI), Positive Chemical Ionization (PCI), and Negative Chemical Ionization (NCI/ECNI) – and combines them into one easy-to-use source. No more hardware switching, no more alignment issues:
with the MMS, changing ionization modes is as easy as a click of a button.
Developed exclusively by LECO, ChromaTOF® is uniquely designed to meet the needs of today’s laboratory professionals by processing and analyzing the large amounts of data that are acquired with our time-of-flight instruments.

In this issue, eFoodLab published an interview with Dr. Geraint (Taff) Morgan of the Applied Science & Technology Group at The Open University, UK, who discussed his team's activities as part of their impact agenda to develop and deploy novel analytical solutions for beverage products within the industry.
eFoodLab spoke to some key players to investigate current trends and patterns of work in the sector and valuable insights were provided by "In The Welsh Wind", a distilled spirits company forging new and alternative approaches to produce authentic and sustainable Welsh Whiskey, "He Stringer Flavours", a flavour and fragrance company innovating flavour formulations to provide brands and consumers with increased choice and quality.
eFoodLab is talking about 'Cacciatori di Briciole' beer, exploring its aromatic intricacies through advanced gas chromatography techniques, a testament to sustainable brewing innovation.

LECO's QuadJet™ SD is the ideal solution for samples which arrive in your lab. By combining the sensitivity of Flame Ionization Detection (FID) with the increased chromatographic resolution of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC), the QuadJet SD delivers a better measure of the actual components of your sample than a straight GC analysis. No other system available on the market can deliver the same reduction in noise and error as the QuadJet SD.
Available exclusively from LECO, our L-PAL3 autosampler offers increased vial capacity, discrimination-free GC injections (ultrafast injections), an automatic tool exchange to switch between injector types (liquid, headspace, or SPME), minimized carryover, and the sensing of vial bottoms to avoid mis-injections.
Simply GC×GC from LECO is a free tool designed to walk you through the steps of creating an optimized GC×GC method for your complex samples. Create a GC×GC method from scratch, or convert an existing 1D method to GC×GC.
Our innovative FLUX GC×GC flow modulator was designed with one goal in mind—to make GC×GC more routine, accessible, and easier for you.
Thermal modulation delivers the highest performance of any available modulator for GC×GC. Other types of thermal or valve-based modulators do not match up to the ruggedness, reliability, and performance of LECO's GC×GC modulator.
