We're bringing our brand-new Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer with us to Denver, Colorado for the ACS Fall Meeting! Stop by Booth #505 to get an up-close look and bring your questions to our educated and eager team.
Visit the Tour Bus – our Separation Sciences Mobile Laboratory – at Booth #725 and get a hands-on experience with the Pegasus BTX.
The BTX is the newest iteration of LECO's Benchtop (or BT) GC-TOFMS series. For the past 8 years, the Pegasus BT series has proven reliability in labs for a diverse spectrum of investigators–including those in industries like Petroleum, Life Sciences, Flavor and Fragrance, Environmental, Pharmaceutical, Food Safety, and others.
The newly released Pegasus BTX retains the innovative StayClean® ion source, blinding fast full-spectrum acquisition rates, and five orders of linear dynamic range. A novel ion path and detector design delivers femtogram-level sensitivity in our smallest mass spectrometer yet. At LECO, technological innovations never jeopardize our commitment to instrument quality and robustness–that's why all new BTX systems include a two-year detector warranty.
Achieve trace-level detection with helium or hydrogen carrier gases.
Optimized deconvolution yields clean analyte spectra from dense matrix background.
The StayClean ion source requires no cleaning even after sustained heavy matrix exposure.
Collect full mass range data, even when performing targeted analyses.
You read that right. LECO's Separation Science Mobile Lab features our very own specialized instruments for sample analysis, along with everything a good lab needs, on wheels!
Our unique mobile laboratories offer you the opportunity to see our state-of-the-art instrumentation up-close and in action, while discussing everything from methods to maintenance with knowledgeable LECO representatives. Conveniently traveling to various regions of the country throughout the year, these one-of-a-kind portable laboratories feature everything from elemental analysis and mass spectrometry to metallography and materials characterization products. If you're interested in seeing one of our mobile labs, we'll have our Separation Sciences Mobile Lab stationed at Booth #725 while at ACS Fall for you to explore.

Advances in technology, like multidimensional gas chromatography (MDGC), which evolved from one-dimensional chromatography, have gained recognition for their power to solve the separation challenge encountered with nontargeted profiling of complex mixtures. This symposium contains over 20 presentations from academia and industry on chemical characterization using MDGC, addressing a wide variety of topics including Sample Preparation, Method Development, Detectors and Modulators, and Advanced Data Processing.

What's in your Toolbox? GCxGC Data Processing Software and Approaches to Experimental Design
DAY & TIME OF PRESENTATION: Wednesday, August 21, 2024 from 2:45 PM - 3:05 PM
ROOM & LOCATION: Bluebird Ballroom 2D - Colorado Convention Center
The benefits of GCxGC for analysis of complex mixtures are well-known, from enhanced chromatographic resolution to structured chromatograms. Different approaches to GCxGC data, from routine analyses like bulk group-type classification or leveraging the separation of co-eluting analytes for targeted quantitation to detailed characterization and discovery of unknowns require a variety of workflows and data processing tools. Selection of fast-acquisition detectors that pair well with the narrow peak widths generated by GCxGC is critical, from single channel detectors such as FID to high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometers. This presentation explores several software tools that streamline the process of data acquisition and processing from multiple detectors, including the use of statistical analysis for data alignment and batch processing of samples as well as data visualization that enhances the combination of separation and mass spectra. Examples from a variety of markets including petrochemicals, metabolomics, environmental, food and flavor are used as case studies for different types of experimental design, each with diverse end goals. Software-assisted workflows for targeted, semi-targeted, and nontarget data analysis all reflect the value that GCxGC brings to the analytical sphere, especially when enhanced by the right set of tools.
