Abstract:
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 detection space within the gas flow cell, the detection space having a volume of approximately equal to or greater than the volume of the analyte provided from the gas chromatography column; a light source coupled to the gas flow cell; and a detector coupled to the gas flow cell, the gas flow cell configured to pass light from the light source through the detection space 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 components coupled to the gas flow cell to move.
