What is a GC System?

A gas chromatograph (GC) is an analytical instrument that separates and detects the chemical components in a sample. The analysis performed by a gas chromatograph is called gas chromatography.​

GC systems are essential for industries such as environmental analysis, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, chemicals, and food safety.
