Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry



Spectroscopy versus Spectrometry

Spectroscopy is the study of how light interacts with matter. Spectrometry is a method of reading patterns in the spectra produced by spectroscopy. Functionally, the two terms end up being largely interchangeable in the majority of circumstances, because spectroscopy almost always involved spectrometry and vice versa.


Types of Spectroscopy & Spectrometry

IR Spectroscopy — infra-red spectroscopy.

GC-MS — Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (Image redit: Michelle L. Hladik, USGS. Public domain.)

NMR spectroscopy — nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.


Types of NMR

H-NMR — proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

C13-NMR — carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Cw-NMR — continuous wave nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

FT-NMR — Fourier-Transform nuclear magnetic resonance or pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
