GC-FID (Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detection)

GC-FID is a trusted analytical method widely used to detect and quantify volatile organic compounds in complex mixtures. The technique begins with gas chromatography, where individual compounds are separated based on their volatility and interaction with the column. Once separated, the compounds are introduced into a flame ionization detector, where they are burned in a hydrogen-air flame. This process generates ions, and the resulting electrical signal is measured to determine the concentration of each compound with high precision.

GC-FID is valued for its sensitivity, reliability, and ability to provide consistent quantitative results. It is commonly applied in food and beverage analysis, fragrance and essential oil profiling, petrochemical testing, and environmental monitoring. The method is particularly effective for detecting hydrocarbons and other organic substances, even at low concentrations.

Our laboratory utilizes validated GC-FID protocols to support quality control, product development, and regulatory compliance across various industries. We are committed to delivering accurate, timely, and traceable results tailored to client specifications.
