I mean sure, but does it makes sense that a high school would have $1-2M worth of mass spectrometers? Keep in mind there is significant expense in their upkeep

I mean sure, but does it makes sense that a high school would have $1-2M worth of mass spectrometers? Keep in mind there is significant expense in their upkeep as well. That's why I guessed they were probably gas chromatographers with wavelength or FID detectors. Those are pretty cheap (gas source, injector and column).
