Enhanced separation of hop oils by flow-modulated GCxGC–TOF MS

This study demonstrates the high performance of a flow-modulated GCxGC–MS system for the evaluation of complex hop oils, which allows effective modulation of even the most volatile components without the need for expensive liquid cryogen. Analyte speciation is also aided by Tandem Ionisation for simultaneous acquisition of hard and soft EI data.

Tackling the extended list of fragrance allergens by flow-modulated GCxGC–TOF MS

This study investigates the use of flow-modulated GCxGC to analyse an 84-component allergen calibration standard, with simultaneous detection by TOF MS for confident identification and FID for robust quantitation. The validity of the method is then demonstrated with the examples of essential oils and a fragrance mix.
