Determination of ethanol and isopropanol content in hand sanitizers using nitrogen carrier gas

8 Jan 2021

In this application note, Shimadzu explains how it developed a gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC FID) method to accurately quantify ethanol and IPA concentrations in two hand sanitizer samples. This application note explains how using nitrogen as the carrier gas is cost-effective and CDC and USP compliant.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.EthanolGas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and analyze gases or volatile liquids in a sample. It is widely used in environmental testing, food safety, pharmaceuticals, and forensic science. GC is ideal for identifying and quantifying compounds that are gaseous or can be vaporized without decomposition.
