Overcoming the lack of reliability associated to monodimensional gas chromatography coupled to isotopic ratio mass spectrometry data by heart-cut two-dimensional gas chromatography

Foods and Contaminants Analysis Using Multidimensional Gas Chromatography: An Update of Recent Studies, Technology, and Applications

“…Well separated peaks are likely to be purer, improving the detector signal quality. The importance of peak purity and quality of detected signal has been recently highlighted through hyphenation with isotopic ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) . H/C MDGC–IRMS improves the reliability of δ 13 C data compared to 1DGC–IRMS due to purer peaks obtained from H/C MDGC.…”
