Novel Column Heater for Fast Capillary Gas Chromatography

Column switching analysis with packed-capillary columns in gas chromatography.

By introducing sequentially connected two packed-capillary columns, a wide range of volatile compounds were successfully separated in gas chromatography. The hyphenation of two packed-capillary columns of 1.0 mm i.d. was accomplished using a conventional 6-port valve, where the temperature of each column was individually controlled in the respective column ovens. These columns were prepared w...

Rapid temperature-programmed separation and retention prediction on a novel packed-capillary column in gas chromatography.

Novel packed-capillary columns for gas chromatography were developed with a thin-wall stainless-steel capillary of 1.0 mm i.d.; and rapid temperature-programmed separations have been carried out after a basic evaluation concerning the compatibility of these columns to the temperature program. With a numerical integration method, the retention of several test analytes during temperature-programm...

Capillary Column Selectivity and Inertness for Sulfur Gas Analysis in Light Hydrocarbon Streams by Gas Chromatography

Criteria for essential fatty acid deficiency in plasma as assessed by capillary column gas-liquid chromatography.

To develop criteria for deficiency of essential fatty acids (EFA), we used capillary-column gas-liquid chromatography to determine fatty acids (percentage of total fatty acids) in plasma obtained in the fasting state from 56 reference subjects and from 10 patients with intestinal fat malabsorption and suspected EFA deficiency. Fatty acid evaluations (percentage of total fatty acids) that allowe...

Development and evaluation of an instant column connector for capillary gas chromatography

Coupling capillary columns in gas chromatography (GC) is not an operation that is only relevant for the users of the most advanced capillary GC methods. Simple single-column separations can also benefit from a properly selected and installed pre-column. Pre-columns connected upstream of the main column can increase the life-time of the column, efficiently refocus the analyte bands to result in ...
