I recently provided a talk at the Agilent Organic Mass Spectrometry Environmental and Food Analysis Meeting, entitled ‘Automated Sample Preparation Combined with Gas Chromatography (GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, GC/Q-TOF and 1D2D GC-ODP) for Target and Non-Target Analysis’.

This presentation covered choices and strategies for sample preparation, and included an overview of a selection of automated sample preparation techniques.  In particular, Twister (SBSE), ATEX (Automated Tube Exchange), and DHS (Dynamic Headspace).

These were illustrated by example applications on a range of GC-MS instrumentation.  The use of olfactory detection ports and selectable 1D2D was also discussed.
