A high probability of identification of substances containing nitrogen or phosphorus in their molecules is obtained by the original gas chromatographic (GC) system. It enables the reliability of positive identification in 98.43% of cases compared with the modern GC where for the chromatographic library spectrum of 200 substances the probability of identification of unknown substances is only 28.13%. GC system is based on the parallel configuration of the two capillary columns of different polarities connected to the one-column injector and the one nitrogen-phosphorus detector as well as the original computer program developed on the qualitative-logistic approach to interpretation of chromatographic parameters using only one reference substance. The computer program can perform positive logistic identification also in the case when the unknown substance is in the closest chromatographic vicinity, with quite different reference substances on both capillary columns.
