REVIEW ON HYPHENATED TECHNIQUES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

Abstract

 Hybrid methods have gotten a lot of coverage in recent years as a primary way to solve complex
analytical challenges. Combining two (or more) methods to detect and isolate chemicals from solutions
is referred to as hyphenated separation techniques.Chromatography is frequently used as the other
technique. In chemistry and biochemistry, hyphenated methods are commonly used. Few examples are
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Gas Chromatography-Infrared Spectroscopy
(GC-IR), Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), Liquid Chromatography-NMR
Spectroscopy (LC-NMR), Liquid Chromatography-Infrared Spectroscopy (LC-IR) and Capillary
Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry (CE-MS) etc. The hyphenated techniques have lot of advantages
and applications like Environmental monitoring, Food, refreshment, flavor and aroma examination,
Forensic and criminal cases, Biological and pesticides detections. This review focuses on few
hyphenated techniques and their utility in practice
