Disclosed are a method and apparatus for high speed, selective detection of vapors of specific compounds, particularly nitrogen-containing compounds, utilizing a bypass branch and high speed gas chromatography for improved selectivity and sensitivity of detection. A system with two gas chromatographs (GC's) alternating in series with two pyrolyzers provides two time intervals of detection in a downstream detector, with the second time interval containing signals delayed and further separated relative to signals from the first time interval. The bypass branch, in diverting a portion of the flow of gas samples from passage through the second gas chromatograph and second pyrolyzer, avoids interferences in the first time interval of detection from non-GC-retained compounds decomposed in the second pyrolyzer.
