IntroductionIntroduction
• GC:GC: Gas Chromatography Gas Chromatography• GC GC was invented by A. J. P. Martin.A. J. P. Martin.• The first gas chromatographic
separation was a series of fatty acids.• A more sophisticated GC was
constructed by JamesJames and MartinMartin in 1955.1955.
The Modern GCThe Modern GC
• The modern gas chromatograph is a really complex instrument mostly computer controlled.
• The samples are mechanically or manually injected.
• The analytical results are automatically calculated calculated and printed printed outout.

The first unitThe first unit
• It provides all the necessary gas supplies.• A minimum of three different gases would
be required. (FID)• Three flow controllers, three flow monitors
would be required.• A microprocessor is employed to monitor
flow rates, adjust individual gas flow rates.• Use gas generators instead of gas tanks.
The second The second unitunit
• It contains a manualmanual ( (1. 2. 3). 2. 3)or an automatic injectorautomatic injector..
• It is situated inside a thermostaticallythermostatically controlled enclosure.
• We use a syringesyringe to inject sample onto the column.
• Automatic injector(carouselcarousel) can carry out a series of sample preparation procedures before injecting the sample onto the column.
The third unitThe third unit
• It contains the column and an oven.• The column is the essential device
to achieve the necessary separation.• The oven is used to control the
column temperature.• The column has two kinds: Packed columnPacked column Capillary Capillary

The fourth unitThe fourth unit
• It contains the detector which is situated in its own ovenoven.
• There is a wide range of detectors available each having unique operating parameters and its own performing characteristics.
• The output of detector is electronically modified.
