What are the Applications of Gas Chromatography (GC) ?

 Some of the applications of gas chromatography - GC are discussed below. So let us find out its applications to know more about gas chromatography.

Some of the Applications of Gas Chromatography GC are:

1. Gas Chromatography (GC) is generally used to analyze volatile compounds in petrochemicals, food and drug testing. 
2. GC is used to measure hydrocarbon composition and purity in fuels, oils and chemical solvents. 
3. It detects preservatives, flavoring agents and other chemical residues in both packaged and processed foods. 
4. It also identifies residual solvents and volatile impurities in pharma products. 
5. GC can separate and quantifiy the volatile organic compounds in air, water and industrial emissions. 
6. It is also used to analyze blood and urine samples for toxic substance adn metabolic disorders. 
7. In forensic labs GC can detect drugs, accelerants and other toxic substance in crime samples. 
8. GC also monitors pollutants like pesticides, herbicides adn industrial solvents in environment samples. 
9. It can be used to analyze aroma profiles and detact off-flavors in alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. 
10. Gas chromatography can characterize essential oils, various perfumes and synthetic aromas based on their volatile compound profiles. 
11. GC verifies batch consistency and also detects volatile contaminants in industrial products.
