What is GC-MS Testing?
Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is a gold-standard analytical technique used to separate, identify, and quantify chemical compounds in a sample.
This method provides unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy, making it ideal for:
- Confirming the presence of drugs or toxins
- Detecting contaminants in products, food, or environmental samples
- Investigating complex chemical mixtures
With GC-MS, we can detect even trace amounts of substances, ensuring reliable and actionable results.
How GC-MS Drug Testing Works
Our GC-MS drug test process involves two key steps:
- Gas Chromatography (GC) – Separates compounds in the sample based on their chemical properties.
- Mass Spectrometry (MS) – Detects and identifies the separated compounds, providing precise quantification.
This combination allows us to deliver accurate results for:
- Healthcare and clinical testing
- Workplace drug screening
- Forensic investigations
By using GC-MS, we minimize false positives and provide highly dependable results for sensitive applications.
