GC-Mass Spectrometer Shimadzu TQ 2010 plus with HS 20 Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS-MS) Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometry (GC/MS) GC/MS is a commonly used platform for measuring oxidized amino acids. As separation in GC occurs in an oven at high temperatures, analytes need to be volatile and thermally stable and it is therefore necessary to derivatize samples prior to analysis. Working
