Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry Analysis

GC-MS Testing Services with Agilent 7010B Triple Quadrupole System

Trace-Level Volatile Impurity Detection for CGMP Laboratories

At NJ Labs, we offer advanced Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) testing services using the Agilent 7010B Triple Quadrupole GC / MS (GC-TQ) system, coupled with a Flame Ionization Detector (FID). This state-of-the-art platform allows us to deliver highly sensitive and specific testing for residual solvents, volatile impurities, and other compounds critical to the safety and quality of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.

Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry Analysis

What is GC-MS and Why is It Important?

GC-MS combines gas chromatography’s ability to separate complex mixtures with mass spectrometry’s precision in identifying and quantifying individual components. When enhanced with FID detection, this hybrid setup provides a comprehensive analytical solution—especially effective for USP <467> residual solvent analysis, stability testing, and method validation for FDA compliance.

Instrumentation at NJ Labs

Agilent 7010B Triple Quadrupole GC / MS

This GC-TQ system features:

  • Triple quadrupole mass analyzer for high-selectivity quantitation
