Initially we had some fears about whether the option of the time of flight detector would be the best for our laboratory, since we have no other system of this kind installed. However, at the end of 6 months of operation with the GC-TOFMS system, it was widely recognized internally that we made the right choice. An easy-to-operate system with high sensitivity, reproducibility and severalanalysis options for a large universe of analytes, and in the most varied matrices increases the versatility of laboratory operation as well as the possibility of responding to the most demanding customer requests.
