This work presents the study of the gaseous products generated in a laboratory experiment simulating Titan atmospheric chemistry with a reactive plasma discharge. The gas products from this simulation were analyzed, both in situ by mass spectrometry [1], and ex situ after cryogenic trapping with gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). This allowed the detection and identification of more than 30 products (mainly nitriles), in agreement with observational data obtained by the Cassini-Huygens mission as well as results from other laboratory setups. Furthermore, a relative quantification of some nitriles has been done and it emphasizes a power-law dependence in their concentration as a function of their carbon content. This dependence is consistent with the Cassini-INMS data and Titan's photochemical models, and it can be directly used to predict the concentration of heavier nitriles in Titan's atmosphere.
