To analyze gas chromatography, gc, data, and determine the volatile substance present in the sample, you would typically follow these steps.
01:04
One, identify key features on the graph.
01:19
In a gc chromatogram, each peak represents a compound that has been separated by the call.
01:27
The height of each peak indicates the relative amount of the substance present in the sample.
01:32
The area under the curve or peak can also help quantify the substance.
01:40
2.
01:40
Locate the highest peaks.
01:49
The highest peaks on the graph represent the most abundant compounds in the sample.
01:55
In your case, you'll want to compare the location, retention time, of these peaks with known standards for common accelerants or other substances.
