CAI-K
GC is an analytical instrument which is mainly used to separate volatile organic compounds which consists of a flowing mobile phase, an injection port, a separating column containing the stationary phase and a detector. The separation of the components takes place in the column on the basis of the physico-chemical interaction of the components with the stationary and the mobile phase. The components eluted from the column are detected and quantified by the detector.
