    Study Notes

    Gas Chromatography

    • Gas chromatography relies on differences in partitioning behavior between a flowing mobile phase and a stationary phase to separate components in a mixture.
    • The main application of gas chromatography is the analysis of volatile analytes.
    • GC stands for Gas Chromatography.
    • Compounds are separated in gas chromatography based on their affinities to the column during the stationary phase.
    • Gas chromatography works on the principle of liquid-gas interaction.
    • The technique separates chemical substances based on their differences in partitioning behavior between a flowing mobile phase and a stationary phase.
    • The elution order of compounds in gas chromatography is determined by factors such as the strength of interaction between the compound and the stationary phase.
    • Compounds with weaker interactions with the stationary phase are likely to elute from the column sooner.
    • Gas chromatography is suitable for the analysis of volatile compounds.
