A gas chromatograph (GC) is a powerful analytical instrument used to separate and analyze the components of a gas mixture. It is widely used in various industries and laboratories for qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex gas samples.

​

The gas chromatograph works on the principle of selective partitioning and separation of gas components based on their affinity for the stationary phase and the carrier gas. The sample is injected into the instrument, vaporized, and carried through a column packed with a stationary phase. As the sample passes through the column, different gas components interact differently with the stationary phase, causing them to separate and elute at different times.

​

The separated components are detected by a detector, such as a flame ionization detector (FID), thermal conductivity detector (TCD), or mass spectrometer (MS), which generates a signal proportional to their concentration. This signal is then analyzed and processed to determine the identity and quantity of the individual gas components in the sample.

​

Gas chromatography is widely used in applications such as environmental analysis, petroleum and gas industry, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and forensics. It allows for precise identification and quantification of trace amounts of gases and volatile compounds in complex mixtures.
