Gas chromatography analyser IVD (An electrically-powered automated or semi-automated laboratory instrument intended to be used for the qualitative and/or quantitative in vitro determination of chemical and/or biological markers in a clinical specimen. Volatile components are separated in a gaseous mixture based on their partitioning differences between mobile and stationary phases as they pass through a column. As the substances exit the column they are detected and identified electronically or spectrometrically, based on their structure. The analyser is typically used for the identification of complex substances such as drugs and hormones.)
