This video, distributed on YouTube by the Royal Society of Chemistry is on the basic principles of GC. This video is a short primer (~5 min) which introduces the technique and instrumentation.
There are many assumptions that are made in the presentation of this material, due to the fact the video is meant to be a…
US Environmental Protection Agency site that explains GC for those interested in environmental analysis. Assumes some user background in the field. Includes a partial list of EPA Field Methods that utilize GC which may be helpful to those interested in regulatory protocols.

This site provides a Word document that describes a GC experiment involving the separation and quantitation of four butyl alcohol isomers. It has a complete background about the components of a GC instrument (with labeled pictures) and their functions. It has a section devoted to the measurement of response factors of the detector in…
A guide to troubleshooting chromatography problems, especially GC. There is also material on increasing column efficiency and reference material on properties of stationary phases.The website is available here .
This chromatography experiment is designed to introduce students to the theory of chromatographic separation of mixtures and packed column chromatography. A section on instrument troubleshooting may be included as an additional optional activity.

This EPA site provides a brief overview of EPA remediation methods and projects. The links "Remediation" and "Characterization and Monitoring" have sub-links that provide analytically relevant materials. Many applications and case-specific studies are presented. Many of the links are related to sampling statistics.The website is available here .
