Detectors for Gas Chromatography content piece image

Gas chromatography (GC) is a technique that enables the separation of compounds of interest present in a gaseous or vaporized sample. Different technologies can be used to detect and measure the separated sample compounds. Some detectors respond to all analytes and are categorized as universal detectors, while selective detectors respond to analytes that contain specific elements or functional groups.
