How does GCMS analyze chemical mixtures?

Points on GCMS to analyze chemical mixtures:

• In Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GCMS), volatile chemical compounds are separated using gas chromatography before entering a mass spectrometer for detection and analysis.
• During separation, the sample is vaporized and transported through a capillary column by an inert carrier gas, where individual compounds elute at different retention times.
• Each separated compound then enters the mass spectrometer individually, allowing precise molecular analysis without interference from other components.
