difference between HPLC & LC-MS

Answer Posted / spencer

With HPLC, components of a solution are separated, and elute
from the column at varying times. One can use the retention
time to estimate what the components are, but can not say
definitively.

With an LC-MS, in addition to components being separated,
the components are then fragmented and the identity of each
component be determined based on the distribution of the
fragments' mass to charge ratios.

In short, LC-MS is qualitative and the HPLC is not.

My question about gas chromatography sulfur chemiluminsecence detector. I test unknown sample gas by GC-SCD (calibrated ) and the result of *H2S is 279 PPM , *but when I test the same sample with the GC-TCD (calibrated ) the value of *H2S is 2500 PPM . I'd like to inform you that both GCs are calibrated and have very good operation conditions with stable parameters . the question is if the sample gas with higher H2S over detection limits of SCD detector (1000 ppm). why the result it 279 ppm Best regards
