10 Operation Manual

1Introduction

Chromatography Using a GC

Chromatography is the separation of a mixture of

compounds into individual components.

There are three major steps involved with separating and

identifying components of a mixture using a GC. They are:

1Injecting a sample into the GC. (This takes place at the

inlet.)

2Separating the sample into individual components. (This

takes place inside the column in the oven.)

3Detecting what compounds were in the sample. (This is

done in the detector.)

During this process, status messages from the GC are

displayed, and user changes to parameter settings can be

made through the operating panel or data system.

Refer to the Advanced Operating Manual and the Getting

Started manual for more details.
