HYPHENATED TECHNIQUES: AN OVERVIEW

Sheetal V. Patil*, Dr. Shashikant D. Barhate

Abstract

The hyphenated technique is developed from the coupling of a separation technique and an online spectroscopic detection technology. The remarkable improvements in hyphenated analytical methods over the last two decades have significantly broadened their applications in the analysis of biomaterials, natural products, elemental species, explosives, trace elements and so on. In this article, recent advances in the applications of various hyphenated techniques, e.g., GC-MS, LCMS, LC-FTIR, LC-NMR etc in the different areas like forensic science, environment, biotechnology, geography, pharmaceutical etc. are discussed with appropriate examples

Keywords: Hyphenated technique, GC-MS, LC-MS, LC-FTIR, LC-NMR, separation technique.
