Claim Text:
1. A gas chromatography analysis system, comprising: a gas chromatography column, the gas chromatography column configured to provide at least one gas analyte to be analyzed; a gas flow cell coupled to the gas chromatography column so as to receive a flow of the analyte from the gas chromatography column; a heater thermally coupled to gas flow cell, the heater elevating the temperature of the gas flow cell so as to prevent condensation in the gas flow cell; a light source mechanically coupled to the gas flow cell; and a detector mechanically coupled to the gas flow cell, the gas flow cell configured to pass light from the light source through the analyte to the detector for detecting a property of the analyte and the gas chromatography analysis system configured to allow for movement of the gas flow cell from thermal expansion of the gas flow cell by allowing for at least one of the light source and the detector to move, the movement being allowed by at least one of the light source and the detector being coupled to a support structure in a moveable manner and being mechanically coupled to the gas flow cell such that thermal expansion of the gas flow cell moves at least one of the light source and the detector in relation to the support structure.
