Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons and Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons are contaminants that are unwanted in food and consumer goods.

Gerstel offers a complete package for both hardware and software to analyze MOSH/MOAH. The software solution was designed together with Lablicate.

The workflow within OpenChrom is a guided wizard that was custom-tailored towards high-throughput analytical service labs and this standardized analytical method.

The process can be tweaked with many configuration options without too many hard-coded assumptions, making it more transparent to the users.

Data is presented in a visual way with color-coded tables and chromatogram previews at the same time.

The process is half-automated with constant sanity checks and allows for inspection by the analytical expert at all times.

The result is again visualized but also saved with all the analysis details for a complete audit trail. The result can be exported as spreadsheets, PDF or into the laboratory information management system (LIMS).

Mabritec Central

MALDI-TOF MS is a popular identification technique in clinical microbiology labs. Mabritec offers an interesting web service to identify against a large self-assembled and quality controlled in-silico spectra database. We first start off with a spectrum acquired from a Bruker microflex axial TOF device. OpenChrom loads both the unprocessed and

Baseline Correction

We offer a unified workflow for baseline correction from chromatography to mass spectrometry. Chromatography In the OpenChrom Data Analysis perspective, you can right-click into the chromatogram and choose Baseline Detectors. At the time of writing it supports * Lowest Intensity * Lower Convex Hull * SNIP * TopHat with the Delete option to remove

Open standards in the realm of analytical chemistry have existed for a long time. Some have better marketing than others. Time for an overview of what already exists. JCAMP-DX The earliest open standard that is still around is JCAMP-DX from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, which in

NIST Hybrid Search

We talked about identifying peaks using the NIST mass spectral libraries before, which is great if the compound you are searching for is actually in the library, but what if it isn't? Mass spectral identification is always about patterns of fragments, and you can use that to your
