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:
1 Injecting a sample into the GC. (This takes place at the inlet.)
2 Separating the sample into individual components. (This takes place inside the column in
3 Detecting what compounds were in the sample. (This is done in the detector.)
