The applications of Chromatography – Mass spectrometry are extremely wide ranging, none more so than in the analysis of environmental matrices. A recent monograph on this subject emphasises how diverse the application of these coupled instrumental techniques is (1). Depending on the sophistication of the mass spectrometry as an analysing tool sample preparation is either of vital importance or may be largely unnecessary. The purpose of the analysis is to characterise the sample as fully as possible or to measure discrete components with high precision?
This meeting is designed to draw attention to the methodology employed to analyse complex matrices containing target compounds with a range of physico-chemical properties. The analysis may be intentionally non-targeted, for example to screen for many classes of substance without chemical bias.
