GC Analysis

Microtest furnishes first-class results in its contract laboratory work performing gas chromatography (GC) analysis and assays of volatile drug samples. Where appropriate, we combine gas chromatography with mass spectrometry for superior GC/MS solutions in identifying unknown substances.

Count on us to successfully implement all types of specialized GC assays — from methods already thoroughly validated, to those run only once. Microtest experts swiftly identify potential problems and provide efficient solutions. We also possess a stellar track record in designing, developing, and validating our own original methods.

Microtest carries out the following categories of analysis:

• Capillary column and packed column
• Assay
• Purity
• Impurities
• Identification

We have successfully analyzed these sample types:

• Small molecules, fatty acid methyl esters
• Sample matrixes of
       — Solids
       — Liquids
       — Oils
       — Extractables
       — Patches

Microtest chemists boast substantial GC experience in both R&D and contract laboratories worldwide. They use the most advanced equipment, including temperature-controlled autosamplers, a headspace analyzer, three Agilent systems with Chemstation software, and a Shimadzu GC/MS system with a Lab Solutions software compound library.
