Analytical Services

Do you need high-quality VOC analyses?

Detect-ION operates an analytical chemistry lab built around an Agilent 8890 GC and Agilent 7250 Q-TOF high-resolution mass spectrometer coupled to a Markes TD100-xr automated thermal desorption system. This platform delivers reference-grade characterization of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs/SVOCs) across breath, environmental, and industrial applications, for untargeted discovery, targeted ID, or method development. DI uses this state-of-the-art analytical system to validate our field-portable CLARION platform, giving our team deep, hands-on experience translating lab-grade chemical analysis into real-world, point-of-need applications.

Three Tracks

Versatile Workflow

Field study, large cohort, or unknown compound? Each question has a track built for it. CLARION delivers results at the point of need, TD-GC-MS scales targeted panels across study cohorts, and accurate-mass TD-GC-HRMS provides definitive identification. Biomarkers confirmed in the lab return to the field as validated libraries, so the result is answers you can publish, defend, and build on.

Applications

Across Every Industry

Whether you're screening for unknowns, developing a new method, or need reference-grade confirmatory data for a clinical study, our lab supports research and industry partners across every application below. Early CLARION adopters can also cross-validate field results against benchtop HRMS before scaling a program.
