In Star Trek, Mr. Spock’s hand-held tricorder can instantly tell what something is made of. We don’t have tricorders yet, but we’re getting close. Portable devices just a little too big to hold in one ...

We’re always on the lookout for unexpected budget builds here at Hackaday, and stumbling across a low-cost, DIY version of an instrument that sells for tens of thousands of dollars is always a treat.

In this article, we take a look at what gas chromatography is, how it works and how to interpret output data. Its combination with mass spectrometry and the use of multiple dimensions are considered.

Gas chromatography is an innovative technique that uses an inert carrier gas for separating and quantitating vaporized compounds. It is based on principles similar to column permeation chromatography, ...

(GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and detect the chemical components of a sample mixture to determine their presence or absence and/or quantities. These chemical components are usually ...

Austin, May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portable Gas Chromatograph Market was valued at USD 1.66 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 2.57 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.11% over ...

Chromatography is a process for separating components of a mixture for analysis. This is a component of our small molecule analysis testing and plays a critical part in identifying and quantifying ...

Multidimensional gas chromatography encompasses methods in which two or more separation dimensions are combined to resolve highly complex mixtures that resist conventional one-dimensional analysis. By ...

Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are developing a micro gas chromatograph (GC) for early detection of diseases in crops. About the size of a 9-volt battery, the technology's ...

Glass manufacturing is one of the most energy-intensive industries, with energy costs representing roughly 14 percent of the total production costs. The bulk of energy consumed comes from natural gas ...

Gas chromatography is an innovative approach to separating and quantitating vaporized compounds through the use of an inert carrier gas. Gas chromatography functions according to similar principles as ...

Analysts interested in quantifying volatile organic compounds like disinfection byproducts in liquid samples should consider using the gas chromatography system. There are two gas chromatography (GC) ...
