Understanding Gas Chromatography: An Overview of Gas Chromatographs (GC)

A gas chromatograph (GC) is a sophisticated analytical instrument used to analyze the composition of various components within a sample. This analytical technique, known as gas chromatography, is crucial for a wide range of applications in laboratories and industries.

How Gas Chromatography Works

The principle behind gas chromatography involves injecting a sample solution into the instrument, where it is carried by a gas stream into a separation tube, commonly referred to as the "column." Typically, helium or nitrogen serves as the carrier gas. Inside the column, the different components of the sample are separated based on their unique properties.

As the components exit the column, a detector measures their quantity, providing valuable data for analysis. To determine the concentration of an unknown sample, a standard sample with a known concentration is also injected. By comparing the retention time and area of the standard sample peak to that of the test sample, the concentration can be accurately calculated.
