Summary

The chemical nature of vapors emerging from a gas chromatographic column can very frequently be determined by mass-spectrometry. For this purpose, a mass-spectrometer may be used to sample the column effluent. The several methods of coupling chromatograph and spectrometer are reviewed, together with the modes of operation of the coupled system. A survey of the more recent applications is given.

Zusammenfassung

Die chemische Natur gas-chromatographisch getrennter Substanzen kann sehr oft mit Hilfe der Massenspektrometrie erkannt werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird das die Trennsäule verlassende Trägergas (mit Substanz) stetig in ein Massenspektrometer eingeführt. Über die verschiedenen Methoden der GC/MS-Kopplung und die Arbeitsweise dieses Systems wird zusammenfassend berichtet. Es wird ein Überblick über neuere Anwendungen gegeben.

Sommaire

La nature chimique des vapeurs émergeant d'une colonne de chromatographie en phase gazeuse peut être souvent déterminée par spectrometrie de masse. Pour cela, un spectrometre peut être utilisé pour analyser l'effluent de la colonne. Les différentes méthodes permettant de coupler l'appareil de chromatographie et le spectrometre sont passées en revue ainsi que le mode de fonctionnement du système couplé. On donne aussi une revue des applications les plus récentes.
