What Does HAGIS Stand For?

HAGIS stands for Headspace Analysis Gas Phase Infrared Spectroscopy

HAGIS, or Headspace Analysis Gas Phase Infrared Spectroscopy, is an advanced analytical technique used to identify and quantify volatile compounds in various samples. By analyzing the gases present above a sample's surface (the headspace), HAGIS utilizes infrared spectroscopy to detect specific molecular signatures. This method is particularly valuable in fields such as food quality control, environmental monitoring, and forensic analysis, where understanding the composition of gases can provide critical insights into the sample's characteristics and potential applications.
