Hi all.

Can anyone sugesst me an interesting test to do on it? what can I check?
I've already checked caffeine and alcohol level in defferent drinks... so I need another idea.

You can use it to discover the ratio/identity of solvents in a consumer product.

Wildfyr has the right idea.  If you are interested in the environment, check for EPA methods that use GC.  If cGMP is your interest, check the USP an EP.  Or look up the ASTM methods in the library.  There will be some GC in the mix of other methods.

Good luck.
