Gas Chromatography (GC) Capabilities

Gas Chromatography (GC) is a powerful and highly sensitive analytical technique designed for the separation, identification, and quantification of volatile and semi-volatile compounds within complex mixtures. Its versatility makes it indispensable across numerous applications, enabling the characterization of components in liquid formulations, the detection of trace impurities, and the precise measurement of target analytes at very low concentration levels.

GC plays a vital role in a wide range of industries, including environmental monitoring, agriculture, petrochemical processing, chemical manufacturing, food and beverage production, cosmetics development, and pharmaceutical research. Whether determining the purity of drug substances, evaluating food quality, measuring residual solvents, analyzing pesticide residues, or profiling complex chemical mixtures, GC provides fast, accurate, and reproducible results.

At the core of the chromatographic process is the interaction between the mobile phase—an inert carrier gas—and the stationary phase, consisting of a thin film of liquid or polymer coated onto an inert solid support inside a temperature-controlled column. As each component interacts differently with the stationary phase, they travel through the column at distinct rates, enabling clear separation and subsequent identification.

Our laboratory is equipped with an extensive suite of GC detectors and configurations, which allows us to customize each analysis to the unique requirements of the sample. Our instrumentation options may include FID (Flame Ionization Detector), ECD (Electron Capture Detector), TCD (Thermal Conductivity Detector), MS (Mass Spectrometry) detection, and specialized columns tailored for specific matrices. Combined with our team’s broad technical expertise, we are well-equipped to deliver high-accuracy, high-quality analytical results across a diverse range of sample types.

We routinely handle not only standard sample types but also unconventional, challenging, or highly specialized materials. Our experience with unique testing requirements enables us to develop or adjust analytical methods to meet specific regulatory, research, or production goals.

If you are uncertain which test method, detector, or chromatographic configuration is most appropriate for your sample, we invite you to contact us. We will work closely with you to design or select the most suitable GC approach, ensuring results that align precisely with your analytical needs and specifications.
