Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS): A Tool for the Health Care, Environmental, and Pharmaceutical Industries
Keywords:
GC-MS, Medical, Pharmaceutical, ApplicationsAbstract
Analytical techniques like gas chromatography can separate chemicals in complicated combinations according to their polarity. Only substances that are volatile or can be rendered volatile through derivatization with derivatizing agents can be separated. Due to its efficacy, sensitivity, and simplicity, it is one of the most extensively used techniques for compound separation. The difference in partitioning behaviour between the mobile and stationary phases is the basis for compound separation. In this process, a sample is moved through a tube packed with a finely divided solid or a film of liquid by means of a moving gas stream. For the purpose of compound classification, a variety of columns with varying stationary phase compositions have been employed for the purpose of injecting a solvent-containing mixture or sample into the column at a high enough temperature to volatilize the compound
