Gas Chromatography Analysis

Gas Chromatography Analysis (GC) is a powerful analytical technique used to separate and analyse compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. This method is essential in various fields such as environmental testing, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical industries. GC provides precise and reliable results, making it a cornerstone for chemical analysis and quality control.

Gas Chromatography provides a quantitative analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds found in a variety of matrices (gases, liquids and solids) in foods, medical materials, plastics, environmental samples and occupational monitoring samples.

Flame-ionization detectors (FID), Flame photometric detectors (FPD) and thermal conductivity detectors (TCD) are useful for determining the concentration of specific compounds.

• Rapid, quantitative, cost effective and compound specific
