Our Process

covalenticon-samples

Sample Introduction

The sample is injected, vaporized, and carried by an inert gas.

CovalentIcon__layers (1)

Separation

The vaporized sample moves through a column, separating compounds by boiling points and interactions. 

CovalentIcon__microscope (1)

Ionization & Detection

Compounds exiting the column are ionized, forming charged fragments that are detected and recorded.
