An Integrated Approach To GC/FTIR

When FTIR is used in conjunction with Gas Chromatography certain definable system constraints can be shown to apply both to the design and operation of the GC/FTIR system, and the operation of the GC system. The design objective of an integrated system combining a state-of-the-art gas chromatograph with a flexible cost effective GC/FTIR system on the one hand, and the requirements of the analyst of the other is to obtain a realistic compromise between the demands of equipment and analyst.
