Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on GCMS Analysis of Plant Extract

What is GCMS Analysis of Plant Extract?

GC-MS (Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry) analysis identifies and measures volatile components in plant extracts. It separates complex mixtures using gas chromatography and detects individual molecules through mass spectrometry, offering both identification and quantification.

Why is GCMS preferred over HPLC for plant extracts?

HPLC focuses on non-volatile compounds, while GC-MS is superior for analyzing volatile and semi-volatile molecules such as terpenes, essential oils, and aromatic constituents, offering exceptional sensitivity and specificity.

What amount of sample is required for GCMS testing?

Generally, 10–50 mg of dried extract or 1–2 mL of liquid extract is sufficient. Requirements may vary depending on the sample complexity and analytical scope.

How is a plant extract prepared for GCMS analysis?

The extract is filtered, concentrated, and may undergo derivatization to enhance volatility and detectability.

Can GCMS detect residual solvents in plant extracts?

Yes. GC-MS is the preferred analytical technique for identifying residual solvents in botanical and pharmaceutical materials. Learn more in our Residual Solvent Testing section.

What are the limitations of GCMS analysis?

GC-MS is best suited for compounds that can vaporize without decomposition. Non-volatile molecules such as polysaccharides require LC-MS analysis instead.

How accurate are GCMS results?

ResolveMass Laboratories applies validated calibration standards and spectral libraries, achieving identification confidence levels above 95% with excellent reproducibility.

Conclusion

In conclusion, GCMS Analysis of Plant Extracts at ResolveMass Laboratories Inc. provides validated, reliable, and scientifically robust data on the chemical composition of botanical samples. Partner with us to advance your phytochemical research with confidence and precision.
