Sediments and Substances: GC-MS Analysis in Geochemistry
Technological developments have allowed us to uncover the identities of mystery substances with increasing accuracy. From applications in forensic research to artifact analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combines two methods used in modern analytical chemistry to provide an effective means of identifying chemicals. GC-MS is an analytical technique often used to identify and measure the…
