Data Alignment and Comparison Software

Having access to user-friendly software makes it easier to understand and visualize the theoretical aspects of GCxGC. After a two-month training period following my graduation, I was able to operate the Fragrance Allergens method autonomously, processing simple samples in 15 minutes and the most complex ones in up to one hour.
Bruna, Givaudan Technician
Moving to GCxGC-MS in 2014 was a pivotal decision, allowing us to conduct Fragrance Allergens Analysis more efficiently and with greater confidence, even when dealing with extended allergens in the most complex samples.
