When pyrolyzed, macromolecules will decompose into smaller fragments that can have the appropriate volatility for gas chromatography (GC) separation and analysis. This decomposition is somewhat analogous to fragmentation in a mass spectrometer. Although the pyrolysis can be conveniently coupled to GC, the advances in other analytical techniques may have rendered pyrolysis-GC a somewhat forgotten technique to those who do not routinely work with polymers, biological molecules, and similar samples. This month, we take a look at the fundamentals and applications of pyrolysis-GC
