Tracking down flavors and fragrances with automated sample preparation and GC-O analysis.
The smell of a product is a very important factor for the consumer in terms of overall perception and acceptance. An exact qualitative and quantitative analysis of perfumed products is therefore indispensable for the scent and perfume industry.
GERSTEL has solutions for conventional and proven analysis methods such as static headspace or solid phase micro extraction (SPME) that are frequently used in the analysis of samples with a known composition.
Conventional gas chromatography methods are often too selective or require time-consuming sample preparation for analyzing samples with an unknown composition. This is where techniques based on GERSTEL thermal desorption systems such as thermal extraction or Dynamic Headspace (DHS) can help. They require a minimum of sample preparation and considerably shorten the overall analysis time while completely covering the entire analyte area.
