Precision Gas Chromatography (GC-FID) Analysis Services

Unlock the Power of Precise Volatile and Semi-Volatile Compound Analysis

Struggling with complex mixtures? Need precise identification and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs)? Our state-of-the-art Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection (GC-FID) services offer unparalleled accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability for your most critical analytical challenges.

What is GC-FID?

Gas Chromatography (GC) is a powerful analytical technique used to separate and analyze compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. Samples are introduced into a heated inlet, vaporized, and carried by an inert gas (the mobile phase) through a capillary column. Components separate based on their differential partitioning between the stationary phase within the column and the mobile phase.

The Flame Ionization Detector (FID) is a highly sensitive and robust detector commonly used in conjunction with GC. As compounds exit the column, they are introduced into a hydrogen/air flame, which ionizes carbon-containing molecules. The resulting ions generate a measurable electrical current, which is directly proportional to the amount of analyte present. FID offers:

• High Sensitivity: Excellent detection limits for most organic compounds.
• Wide Linear Range: Accurate quantification across broad concentration scales.
• Robustness: Reliable performance for routine analysis.
• Universal Detection: Responds to virtually all organic (carbon-containing) compounds.

Our Comprehensive GC-FID Service Capabilities

We offer a full spectrum of GC-FID services tailored to your specific project needs, from routine analysis to complex method development:

• Quantitative Analysis: Accurate determination of concentration for target compounds (e.g., % w/w, ppm, ppb).
• Qualitative Analysis: Identification of unknown compounds within a mixture based on retention time.
• Purity Assessment: Evaluating the purity of raw materials, intermediates, or final products.
• Impurity Profiling: Detecting and quantifying trace impurities that may impact product quality or performance.
• Residual Solvent Analysis: Conforming to pharmacopoeial guidelines (e.g., USP <467>, ICH Q3C) for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
• Method Development & Validation: Creating and validating bespoke GC-FID methods for novel analytes or complex matrices.
• Trace Level Analysis: Detecting compounds at very low concentrations.
• Headspace Analysis: For volatile compounds in solid or liquid matrices (e.g., residual solvents, flavor compounds).
