Revolutionising GC/MS Analysis: Introducing the Speed and Accuracy of a New Generation with the GC/ID™ V5.1

A new GC/ID software from Cerno Bioscience claims to offer a major improvement in GC/MS technology by providing users with increased speed, accuracy, and increased confidence in the identification of compounds. The new system helps automate many tedious and complex tasks within workflows, saving precious time while dramatically boosting accuracy in a variety of GC/MS applications plagued by limitations characterizing traditional library search methods.

Aiming for Unmatched Efficiency in GC/MS workflows

A completely automated result with the new GC/ID™ V5.1 software makes routine GC/MS analysis just minutes long. Unlike conventional software with errors in the identification of up to 25% of compounds due to reasons such as spectral similarities or peaks not resolved, GC/ID bases its reliance on technologies like Composite Scoring™. This results in a comprehensive approach to library search, retention index matching, accurate mass confirmation, and sophisticated deconvolution, which guarantees high confidence levels for every compound identified.

GC/MS  Enhanced with GC/ID 5.1: Features and Industry Applications

GC/ID 5.1 simplifies workflows on GC/MS through manual peak editing for controlled data, automated peak deconvolution, and flexible Python scripting towards LIMS integration. The software allows an expanded user library that can be used to create a custom library; further, it provides a targeted analysis function that allows the researcher to focus on critical compounds. It has been upgraded to a 64-bit application, which delivers up to 70% faster performance and improved stability.

A national water testing laboratory using GC/ID reduced sample processing from days to hours and reported that 90% of the reporting effort was automated. These will enable the labs to save time, increase accuracy of the data, and allocate resources.

Simplify the complicated analysis for all

The system is designed for both novice and experienced analysts to be able to easily navigate the GC/MS analysis, GC/ID™ simplifies complex data interpretation. New lab technicians with less experience can hopefully reproduce the highest skills of experts, and qualified professionals will be free to solve heavier challenges. The friendly user interface and automated pre- and post-processing minimize physical tasks that the person conducting the review will no longer be a bottleneck in the data review process.

Innovations driving the GC/ID™ V5.1

The key technologies driving this GC/MS include:

AutoRIX – easily and quickly does RI calibration

Magic Highlighter tool that can color-code confidence indicators to make it easier to review data.

The comprehensive deconvolution algorithms of the software separate closely related compounds thus reduce errors of compound identification. It also supports any GC/MS platform which makes it vendor neutral; one can apply its functionality in various laboratories.

Improving Laboratory Productivity

The new GC/ID V5.1 by Cerno Bioscience seeks to help labs streamline their workflow, reduce time consumption, and increase accuracy and help automate and speed up lab work. With the combination of high-confidence results and user-friendliness, this could be a valuable tool for modern labs in reducing workload and freeing up time for more in-depth research.
