Characteristics of Gas Chromatography

Some characteristics of gas chromatography are:

Gas Chromatography provides high separation efficiency and delivers rapid analytical results.
It separates closely related volatile compounds with minimal peak overlap.
Results are obtained quickly because components elute rapidly from the column.
Short analysis times allow many samples to be processed within a limited period.
Rapid separation makes the technique suitable for routine and high-throughput analysis.
Individual components appear as sharp, well-defined peaks in the chromatogram.
Minor constituents can be resolved clearly even within complex gaseous mixtures.
Identification of volatile compounds becomes more reliable because peaks are distinctly separated.
Gas chromatography completes analyses in a short time compared to many other separation techniques.
It uses a gaseous mobile phase.
It separates compounds based on volatility.
It requires thermally stable analytes.
It employs temperature-controlled columns.
It uses highly sensitive detection systems.
