Applications of Gas Chromatography (GC)

1) Environmental Analysis

  • Purpose: Detection of pollutants and contaminants in air, water, and soil samples.

  • Examples: Monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and industrial emissions.

2) Pharmaceuticals

  • Purpose: Quality control, impurity profiling, and drug metabolism studies.

  • Examples: Analyzing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and degradation products.

3) Food Analysis

  • Purpose: Determining food composition, detecting additives, flavors, contaminants, and spoilage indicators.

  • Examples: Analyzing fatty acid profiles, flavor compounds, and pesticide residues.

4) Forensic Science

  • Purpose: Analyzing biological samples for substances like drugs, poisons, and alcohol.

  • Examples: Toxicology reports, arson investigations to identify accelerants.

5) Petrochemical Industry

  • Purpose: Analysis of hydrocarbons and determining the composition of fuels.

  • Examples: Quality control of gasoline, diesel, and natural gas.

6) Clinical Toxicology

  • Purpose: Detection of drugs, alcohol, and toxic substances in biological fluids.

  • Examples: Blood and urine analysis for substance abuse screening.

7) Perfume and Flavor Industry

  • Purpose: Analyzing the composition of fragrances and flavors.

  • Examples: Identifying and quantifying essential oils and aroma compounds.

8) Academic and Research

  • Purpose: Various research applications, including studying reaction mechanisms and developing new separation methods.

  • Examples: Investigating biochemical pathways, environmental studies, and materials science research.
