GC-IMS – why you should choose Odournet
The right choice for GC-IMS testing
There are several reasons why we think Odournet is the right choice for gas chromatography coupled with ion-mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) testing:
- Odournet will keep you up-to-date with information about sampling, methodologies and results. We like to talk things through with our clients – to agree methodologies, for example. And the information you’ll receive in our reports is always meaningful and comprehensible.
- We’ll also help you keep costs down. GC-IMS testing gives you a unique opportunity to achieve rapid, accurate and modestly priced testing, with the potential for in-depth testing later on if you wish. (Please note, however, that it is not a substitute for sensory analysis or high-resolution molecular analysis.)
Based on quick and inexpensive methodology, GC-IMS testing is suitable for a number of pre-tests, which can be the basis for:- sensory testing (e.g. to determine the right time for sampling, or the right test gas)
- a more detailed and focused molecular analysis such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS/TOF) or GC-Sniffing.
- We’ll make sure you get the best possible analysis quality.
- The combination of GC-IMS and further sensory or molecular analysis, such as GCMS/TOF or GC-Sniffing, ensures optimum results.
- Analyses are carried out by PhD scientists who specialise in odour/aroma and sensory matters, so you can be sure that our GC-IMS testing is consistently robust and accurate.
- Odournet is positioning itself as a worldwide leader in GC-IMS analysis. We are convinced that GC-IMS has the potential to develop into a technology with various areas of application in the field of product and material testing.
- You can benefit from our expertise and the valuable support provided by the whole Odournet group, which draws on more than 30 years’ experience in odour issues.
