The Agilent 5975 quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled with gas chromatography (GC), head-space analysis, and pyrolysis provides valuable methods for uniquely characterizing constituents and contaminants present on collection items and in their storage environments that cannot be determined by other mass spectrometric methods.
Applications:
- determining the composition of off-gases from building and storage materials
- distinguishing volatiles from Oddy tests
- forensically fingerprinting fungal infestations
