The Focus ITQ 1100 GC-MS is a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. The Focus ITQ 1100 GC-MS is categorized as a precision optics instrument.[1][2]

GC-MS instruments combine two analytical techniques: gas chromatography separates volatile compounds in a mixture, and mass spectrometry identifies each compound by its mass-to-charge ratio.
In gas chromatography, a sample is vaporized and carried by an inert gas through a capillary column coated with a stationary phase. Different compounds elute at different retention times based on their affinity for the stationary phase.
The eluted compounds then enter a mass spectrometer, where they are ionized, fragmented, and detected. The resulting mass spectrum provides a fingerprint that can be compared against libraries to identify the compound.
Upstream processes include sample preparation (extraction, derivatization) to make analytes volatile. Downstream, data analysis software interprets the chromatograms and mass spectra to generate reports.
In materials and optics contexts, the instrument can be used to analyze outgassing from coatings, identify organic contaminants on surfaces, and characterize polymeric materials used in precision optics assemblies.
