Gas chromatography (GC) is a type of chromatography for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition in analytical chemistry. Gas chromatography uses include separating the different components of a mixture or testing the purity of a substance. Sometimes gas chromatography may help in identifying a compound. In preparative chromatography, gas chromatography can be

used to prepare pure compounds from a mixture.In this industry research report, Technavio covers the present scenario and growth

prospects of the global gas chromatograph market for 2017-2021.
