Hello, I have the HP 6890 series GC connected to 5973 inert selective mass detector. Can i use this system to detect the mass of pure small molecules (range of 150-500 kDa)?

  • It would help if you could list out some of the types of compounds you would be interested in analyzing. If you search them by name on http://www.agilent.com you will probably find application notes listed that may help you understand which type of instrument works best for each chemical.

    A GC/MS is amazing at separating and identifying molecules from 10-800 amu that can be vaporized in a hot injection port and separated in a GC column.
