What is GC×GC Testing?

GC×GC testing is a sophisticated analytical technique developed to separate and characterize complex mixtures with exceptional precision. It employs two chromatographic columns featuring distinct stationary phases: the first column provides preliminary separation, while the second column further resolves overlapping peaks, significantly improving resolution and sensitivity.

This dual-dimensional approach enables detailed molecular profiling and quantitative analysis of compounds that may not be distinguishable through traditional one-dimensional gas chromatography. GC×GC testing is widely utilized in chemical analysis, environmental assessment, and industrial quality control, offering a deeper and more accurate understanding of sample composition.
