Analysis of Emerging Contaminants Using High Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry

On-Demand Webinar Recording

“Reports  that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me,  because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we  know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know  there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown  unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know”  -- United States  Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

This session will help you gain a better understanding of howoperators, practitioners and researchers investigate the “Unknown Unknowns”  utilising High Resolution, Accurate Mass, Quantitative Time-of-Flight  Mass Spectrometry (QToF-MS), coupled with both Liquid Chromatography  (LC) or Gas Chromatography (GC), to provide unprecedented insights for  Health, Environmental and Legacy Risk Assessment.
