Recent advances in micro detectors for micro gas chromatography

Abstract

Micro gas chromatography (μGC) has been continuously gaining attention since the last century owing to multiple favorable characteristics, such as its small size, low power consumption and minimal production and maintenance costs. μGC has the potential to provide practical solutions to emerging analytical challenges in security, health, and environment. In this review, we summarize recent advances in micro detectors for μGC, including the study of the miniaturization of conventional detectors and the development of novel detectors for μGC chromatography.
