Advanced software tips for GC and GC-MS analysis

As laboratories generate increasing volumes of data, software has become a critical driver of productivity, compliance, and insight in GC/GC-MS analysis. Join us for this GC/GC-MS Power Hour to explore how modern software solutions can simplify complex workflows, automate routine tasks, and improve confidence in your analytical results.
Through demonstrations and expert guidance, you'll see how Thermo Scientific Chromeleon™ Chromatography Data System (CDS) streamlines method development, data processing, and system monitoring. Using a dioxin eWorkflow as a practical example, we'll demonstrate how to quickly implement isotopic dilution quantitation methods, optimize full scan and TSIM workflows, and configure calibration, retention time alignment, and System Suitability Testing (SST) to support EPA requirements while minimizing sample consumption.
You'll also discover how to automate responses to predefined performance thresholds and learn practical Chromeleon CDS tips and tricks to help improve efficiency in your daily laboratory operations.
