Gas chromatography with spectroscopic detectors.
In recent years, capillary gas chromatography (GC) with Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and/or mass spectral (MS) detection has become a primary analytical tool for qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures. Because of the wide range of applications, the analytical requirements have motivated a variety of chromatographic and detection developments. This review examines those, illustrating with applications that demonstrate the power of GC and multidimensional GC-MS, GC-FT-IR and GC-FT-IR-MS systems for solving a variety of analytical problems. In addition, the article discusses the integrated performance of such analytical systems with the aid of recent sample introduction and computer data analysis advances.
