Analysis  >  GC/FTIR Analysis

GC/FTIR separates organic mixtures and group identifies individual chemical components.

Separation in a GAS Chromatograph (GC)
A carrier gas move a sample through a coated column where the separation takes place. The GC output is measured by the IRD detector and the signal is registrered versus time. The area of the peak is proportional to the concentration of a component.

Detection and Identification in Infared (IR)
The GC column is directly connected to a infrared spectrometer (IR).
The separated molecules elute to the flow cell of the IR detector.
In the flow cell the molecules are are bathed with infrared energy.
Absorption spectra are computed using an interferometer and fourier transforms (FT). The absorption spectra is a fingerprint of the molecule
