Gas Chromatography
Gas chromatography (GC) is used for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. Examples include testing the purity of a particular substance, or separating the different components of a mixture. Gas Chromatography provides maximum information from every run using advanced analysis capabilities. This is particularly useful to identify the product formation and useful in organic synthesis and catalysis purpose.
