GC/MS represents a combination of two powerful analytical techniques: GC, which acts as a separation technique, and MS, which acts as a detection technique. Complex mixtures of individual compounds can be injected into the GC, either manually or through the use of an optional autosampler, and then separated for introduction into the MS. The MS will then generate a series of mass spectra of the GC eluent and its components, which can be used for qualitative identification as well as accurate and precise quantification of the individual compounds present in the sample.

The DSQ II system is designed to optimize both the separation and detection capabilities of GC/MS techniques and combine them in a synergistic fashion to provide high performance analytical capabilities for both research and routine applications.
