Item Description

Matthew Monagle specializes in gas chromatography (GC) repair and maintenance as well as method development and he is offering one day of analytical chemistry services.

Now, in case you were wondering: chromatography is an analytical chemistry tool that takes mixtures and separates them into their individual components.  Matthew generally deals with things that can be made gaseous, like perfume for example.  If you analyze perfume, it's a mixture of probably 100 components.  Since someone else can smell it, it can clearly be made gaseous.  Chromatography can separate most or all of those components so that you could measure each and every one of them.  Other examples of GC applications include measurements of components of natural gas, active ingredients in hand creams, and measurement of alcohol content in spirits. 

His business, AIC Corp, is based on doing repairs and consulting for these types of instruments. If you have one of them and it's not performing the way it should, Matthew can fix it.  If you have one but don't know how to use it, he can help you with that as well.  If you  have one and want to do something different with it, he can usually develop a method to do that new analysis for you.  Or if you want to get one of the instruments to measure whatever you need to measure, he can help you with the purchase and also set it up for you.

If you aren't quite sure if it's a good fit, feel free to drop an e-mail to Matthew and let him know the nature of the problem and he will let you know if he can be of assistance with this service.

(Travel outside New Mexico is not covered under this donation.  If you need assistance outside New Mexico and you are bidding, please contact Matthew before closing to discuss these arrangements.)

Matthew listens to KUNM during the news “hours”, typically during morning coffee or when working late in the lab.
