Disadvantages & Advantages of an GC

Disadvantages & Advantages of an GC.

Gas chromatography (GC) is an analytical method which is used for the separation of an volatile substance from a give mixture of compounds which are very difficult to separate and analyse.

This type of chromatography separates the molecules based on the volatility of a substance.

The substance with more volatility will separate out quickly while the substance with less volatility will elute out slowly.

Advantages 

This method has a  high resolution power compared to other methods.

This method has high sensitivity when used with thermal detectors.

This technique gives relatively good accuracy and precision.

Separation and analysis of sample very quickly.

Sample with less quantity is also separated. 

Disadvantages

Only volatile samples or the sample which can be made volatile are separated by this method.

During injection of the gaseous sample  proper attention is required.

The sample of gas which is about to inject must be thermally stable so that it does not get degraded when heated.

Advantages and disadvantages of Chromatography

Chromatography is simple method. Chromatography can be handled by single person.

Other advantages are, Chromatography is used to separate components from complex mixture.

Different types of chromatography equipment are available for separation of different compounds.

Some of them are Gas Chromatography, Liquid Chromatography, Solid Chromatography, High performance liquid Chromatography, Solid liquid Chromatography, Liquid liquid Chromatography, Thin layer Chromatography. This method gives accurate results.

Disadvantages & Advantages of an TLC

Some Disadvantages & Advantages of an TLC.

In Thin layer Chromatography also called (TLC) is widely used method for the separation and detection of an molecule from a given mixture of compounds.

This method is used for the separation of non volatile compounds.

This is generally performed on the thin sheet of aluminum or thin sheet of glass or plastic.

This sheet are coated with different media, commonly used are silica gel, cellulose etc.

The sample is applied on this plate and it is called stationary phase.
