Revolutionize Your Essential Oil Analysis with LECO's GCxGC-TOF-MS

Are you in the essential oils industry, working with complex natural extracts? Discover how LECO’s GCxGC-TOF-MS can revolutionize your analysis and quality control processes.

💠 Why Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)?
Rosemary, a beloved aromatic herb from the mint family, is essential in food flavoring, alternative medicine, and aromatherapy. Its steam-distilled oil, obtained from flowering tops, leaves, and soft twigs, varies greatly in chemical composition based on cultivation conditions, leading to different chemotypes: camphor/borneol, cineole, and verbenone.

💠 Traditional Methods vs. Advanced Analysis:
While GC-FID is standard for quantifying essential oils and GC-MS is common for component identification, these methods face challenges with the numerous isomers and wide concentration ranges present in essential oils.

💠 Experience the Future of Essential Oil Analysis with GCxGC-TOF-MS
Our comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) combined with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) provides unparalleled peak capacity and separation power, enhancing your ability to analyze complex samples.

💠 Key benefits include:
Enhanced Separation: GCxGC significantly increases peak capacity, allowing better separation of compounds in complex matrices.

Accurate Identification: The deconvolution power of TOF-MS results in more precise identification of components, even for overlapping peaks.

In-Depth Analysis: In a study comparing three rosemary chemotypes, GCxGC-TOF-MS identified over 450 peaks per sample—twice as many as one-dimensional GC-MS.

💠 Case Study: Rosemary Essential Oils
Using LECO’s GCxGC-TOF-MS, we analyzed essential oils from camphor, cineole, and verbenone chemotypes. The results were remarkable:
Complex Mixtures: The verbenone chemotype showed unique complexity with 450 distinct components. where as with GCMS it is around 236.

Spectral Clarity: Improved separation allowed for better spectral matches with library data, enhancing component identification accuracy.

Transform Your Essential Oil Analysis
By integrating LECO’s GCxGC-TOF-MS into your workflow, you can achieve superior separation and identification of components in essential oils, leading to higher quality products and more reliable data for research and development.
