Gas chromatography

Gas chromatography (GC) is a powerful analytical technique used to separate and analyze compounds in a mixture. It works by vaporizing the sample and passing it through a column with an inert gas, where components are separated based on their volatility and interaction with the column's coating. GC is widely used in fields such as environmental analysis, pharmaceuticals, and forensic science for detecting and quantifying volatile organic compounds. Advanced GC systems can be coupled with detectors like mass spectrometers (GC-MS) for enhanced sensitivity and identification.
