Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry couples chromatographic separation of volatile analytes with mass analysis of the eluting material. Retention behavior and a mass spectrum provide complementary evidence.
Co-elution can mix signals, and related molecules can share fragments. A library match is therefore evidence interpreted with separation quality, standards, and the measurement method, rather than an automatic unique structural proof.
