Hyphenated Techniques for Analysis of Complex Organic Mixtures
Abstract
Advances in computer technology as well as analytical instrumentation have made practical analytical systems combining various separation methods and multiple spectrometric detectors. Systems consisting of a separation device and a detector, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), are already widely used. Newer methods employing two or more detectors in addition to a separation device are exemplified by gas chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-mass spectrometry (GC-FTIR-MS). A GC-FTIR-MS system has been used in different configurations for the analysis of two relatively complex mixtures of about 30 compounds. Complementary information obtained with such a multiinstrument system shows that it is a potentially powerful tool for complex mixture analysis.
