ABSTRACT:
In
recent
years,
there
has
been
increased
demand
for
non-target
workflows
across
a
diverse
range
of
applications,
such
as
discovery-based
analysis
for
novel
biomarkers
of
disease
and
the
detection
of
food
fraud,
where
many
of
the
possible
adulterants
remain
unknown.
In
this
presentation,
we
will
describe
the
use
of
automated
sample
extraction
and
enrichment
combined
with
GC×GC–TOF
MS
for
comprehensive
non-target
screening
of
complex
mixtures.
Additionally,
we
will
demonstrate
the
use
of
simple
data
analysis
workflows
to
automatically
discover
significant
differences
between
complex
samples,
allowing
meaningful
conclusions
to
be
drawn.
In
the
seminar,
you
will
hear
how
these
complete
end-to-end
workflows
can
be
applied
to
a
range
of
applications,
including
biomarker
discovery,
odourprofiling
and
food
quality
and
authenticity.
