Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

Volatile analytes are separated on a capillary column and eluted into an electron-ionization source, so each spectrum belongs to one retention time and can be matched against reference libraries. Retention time plus a library-matched EI spectrum is a far stronger identification than either alone.
