What Does GC Stand For?

GC stands for Gas Chromatograph

Gas Chromatograph (GC) is a sophisticated analytical instrument used for separating and analyzing compounds in a gaseous state. This technique involves the volatilization of a sample, which is then passed through a column packed with a stationary phase. As the sample components travel through the column, they interact differently with the stationary phase, resulting in their separation based on factors such as volatility and affinity. GC is widely utilized in various fields, including chemistry, environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and food safety, to quantify and identify volatile and semi-volatile substances in complex mixtures.
