Description
Key Components of a Gas Chromatograph:
- Carrier Gas Supply: Provides a constant flow of inert gas to carry the sample through the column.
-
Injector: Introduces the sample into the carrier gas stream.
-
Column: The heart of the GC, where the separation of components occurs.
-
Oven: Controls the temperature of the column, which affects the separation process.
-
Detector: Detects the separated components as they exit the column.
- Data System: Collects, processes, and displays the data from the detector.
Applications of Gas Chromatography:
- Environmental Analysis: Monitoring air and water pollutants, analyzing soil samples.
-
Food and Beverage Industry: Quality control, flavor analysis, and detection of contaminants.
-
Pharmaceutical Industry: Drug purity testing, analysis of drug metabolites.
-
Petrochemical Industry: Analysis of petroleum products, natural gas, and other hydrocarbons.
-
Forensic Science: Drug analysis, identification of explosives and other hazardous materials.
