SpectralWorks Limited is offering a 15 day free trial of AspectAnalyzer the latest tool for combining GC-MS and FID data processing. This latest plug-in application to AnalyzerPro has been developed to be used where an FID detector has been added to a GC-MS or a UV detector to a LC-MS system. Purity analysis based on GC-FID and LC-UV data can be integrated into the MS acquisition for pharmaceutical analysis and synthetic chemistry. Quantitative data can be derived from the UV or FID data channel, including the use of internal standards and this is aligned with the qualitative information provided by the relevant MS analysis. Combined with the unique algorithm used in AnalyzerPro for the data mining of MS data, AspectAnalyzer is a powerful addition to integrated data processing.

Judith van den Berg from the Analysis Department at Cosun Food Technology Centre in the Netherlands uses AspectAnalyzer for the analysis of flavours. “With AspectAnalyzer, we are able to qualify and semi-quantify components with the MS and/or the FID signal. Before AspectAnalyzer, this was a huge job because of the complexity of flavours.

Data file formats from MS vendors, such as Agilent, ThermoFisher, Waters and Varian are supported as well as generic formats such a netCDF and a number of smaller and legacy data system formats. This allows the integration of a typical MS laboratory onto a single data processing platform.
