The Importance Of The GC-MS Method

Humans have always been curious, so much so that this has been a key for our own development, civilisation and protection. Our ancestors sought knowledge and meaning to every little aspect of life, once they understood a certain aspect of life, it was not enough to quench their extreme thirst for knowledge. I am a really curious student myself and the subject I am most curious about is us (biologically and physiologically), how the human body operates by undergoing infinite chemical reactions every fractions of second with such precision and accuracy to keep the body systems functioning properly. It is also commendable how the biomedical scientists discovered the existence of these really complex metabolic cycles (reactions) and their significance
I am aware that to be accepted into the biomedical world requires accuracy, efficiency and attention to detail as it is a dynamic and complex science. In the analysis module ofA2 chemistry, I learnt that the results obtained from series of procedures and techniques need to complement each other to be certain about a particular aspect of a research and produce an accurate explanation for it. The GC-MS method is one such procedure. GC separates the components of a compound by analysing different retention times and MS helps to identify the separated components by comparing with a standard database. During my A-levels, I have taken part in many chemical experiments
I also have arithmetic skills required for scientific calculations to check accuracy and efficiency of a process or device. I have a consistent record of handing in assignments on time and excellent punctuality. I have also volunteered in the elderly ward in Queen Elizabeth hospital for a month where I got a close insight on how the staffs worked with dedication and compassion and cared for the elderly patients with selflessness which drove my passion to work in medical sector. I have also attended UCAS convention seminar where I interacted with representatives from different universities and got information about what the biomedical science course has to offer me and what kinds of career can the course lead me to. I also attended a summer school for a day in University of Greenwich for A-level Maths where I gained the opportunity to be taught by university
