Low-pressure gas chromatography (LPGC) paired with quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) can significantly shorten the time required to analyze complicated mixtures using gas chromatography (GC)-tandem mass spectrometry.
In this webinar, the theory of LPGC will be discussed, followed by an explanation of a novel short collision cell technology.
Experimental data from the analysis of over 240 pesticides using LPGC will be shown, followed by a discussion of how the two technologies complement one another and some of the choices for modifying the analysis.
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand how an LPGC column can minimize GC analysis time while maintaining effective separation.
- Learn about the capabilities of short collision cell technologies and how they can complement LPGC analysis.
- See how LPGC, with a short collision cell, can test over 240 pesticides in less than 11 minutes and how the analysis may be tailored to your laboratory’s specific needs.

About the Presenter
In 2008, Dr. Jensen began his graduate studies at the Colorado School of Mines, where he learned mass spectrometry under the guidance of Dr. Kent Voorhees.
His dissertation focused on several innovative areas: examining nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in biofuel combustion, developing a lateral flow immunoassay strip for Bacillus anthracis detection using bacteriophage amplification, and applying multivariate statistical analysis to metal oxide laser ionization mass spectral data for bacterial identification.
Dr. Jensen earned his Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from the Colorado School of Mines in December 2014.
Following his Ph.D., he joined Osaka University as a research scientist and was promoted to assistant research professor after two years. In 2019, he became an applications chemist at JEOL USA, Inc., where he is currently involved with the JMS-TQ4000GC triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer project.
