Multidetector systems have been widely used in GC for many years. Even though the mass spectrometer is still the most popular GC detector in the case of complex samples, a multidetector system can provide all the information needed for the confirmation purposes. This review describes various GC setups for multidetector analysis, and modern systems available on the market. An overview of the application of multidetector systems with various detectors in GC is also enclosed. The most popular system involves parallel detectors and a post-injector or post-column effluent splitter. For routine analysis, metal based splitters are available on the market with dedicated software. More economical devices are also available for the testing purposes or short term experiments. Nevertheless, in both cases, manual operator setup of the system remains necessary.

多重检测器系统已在GC中广泛使用了很多年。即使在复杂样品的情况下，质谱仪仍然是最受欢迎的GC检测器，但多检测器系统仍可以提供用于确认目的所需的所有信息。这篇综述描述了用于多检测器分析的各种GC设置，以及市场上可用的现代系统。本文还概述了具有多种检测器的多检测器系统在GC中的应用。最流行的系统包括并行检测器和后进样器或柱后流出物分离器。对于常规分析，可以在市场上购买带有专用软件的金属分离器。也可以使用更经济的设备进行测试或短期实验。尽管如此，在两种情况下，仍然需要手动操作员设置系统。
