Gas Chromatograph

This separation/analysis instrument is widely used for the quantitative analysis of chemical substances. It is used with a detector and column combination that suits the analysis target components. Highly sensitive measurements are possible using the flame photometric detector (FPD), which is selective for phosphorous compounds.
