A Review on Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

An analytical technique known as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) combines the separation powers of gas chromatography with the detection capabilities of mass spectrometry to enhance the efficiency of sample studies. This technique is well-recognised for its ability in unknown compound analysis. It enables the analysis of a broad range of compounds including organic acids, amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, sterols, and various xenobiotics. This paper provides information on how Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) plays a pivotal role across various scientific fields. Particularly, GC-MS is crucial in metabolomics, environmental analysis, pharmacology, and clinical diagnostics.
