Gas Chromatography Market Overview
Gas chromatography is an analytical technique used to separate, identify, and quantify volatile compounds in a sample. It involves vaporizing the sample and passing it through a column with an inert gas as the mobile phase. The compounds interact with the column's stationary phase, separating based on their retention times and producing a chromatogram for analysis.
The market is growing steadily, driven by demand in pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, food safety, and the petrochemical industries. Advancements in technology, stricter regulations, and broader adoption in clinical and forensic labs are expected to further expand the market, with ongoing research and development enhancing innovation and instrument performance across industries.
