A Review on Gas chromatography – Mass spectroscopy

Short Communication

Abstract

Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is an analytical method that combines the features of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. As the name suggests, it is essentially a single method of assessing chemical mixtures that combines two methodologies. It is among the most precise instruments available for examining environmental sample data. Both the qualitative identification and the quantitative measurement of individual components in complicated mixtures are accomplished with GC-MS. The most developed chromatography mass spectrometry coupling method, GC/MS, can be used to analyse metabolites that are volatile after derivatization, have low polarity, or have a low boiling point. Applications of GC-MS include identification of unknown samples, academic research, drug detection, fire and explosives investigation, disease diagnostics, and astrobiology. Materials that were previously believed to have decomposed beyond recognition can have trace elements identified in them. A few examples demonstrate how GC-MS is a useful and complementary tool for many field investigations involving the identification and quantification of organic compounds. The purpose of this article is to discuss several GC-MS elements, including concept, instrumentation, applications, and advantages
