Gas Chromatography
Gas Chromatography is a method used for separating and analyzing compounds by injecting a sample mixture into a column prepared to be in a suitable stationary phase and passing a gas (carrier gas) in the mobile phase through the column, in order to separate the mixture into its components by making use of the difference in retention capacity against the stationary phase. This method can be applied to a gaseous or vaporizable sample, and is used for identification, purity testing, and quantitative determination.
