Programmed-temperature injector for large-volume sample introduction in capillary gas chromatography and for liquid chromatography-gas chromatography interfacing

Programmed temperature vaporiser-based injection in capillary gas chromatography.

The application of programmed temperature vaporisation (PTV) in capillary gas chromatographic analysis is reviewed. The development of the different strategies as well as the state of the art are described. As the analytes are normally enriched in the PTV insert, the quoted papers are subdivided depending on whether the enrichment was carried out from organic solvents, from water or from gaseou...

Gas and Liquid Chromatography

Improved Techniques for Sampling and Sample Introduction in Gas Chromatography

Sampling and sample introduction are two key steps in quantitative gas chromatography. In this thesis, a development of a previously described sampling technique as well as a novel concept for sample introduction in gas chromatography are presented. The thesis is based on two papers. Paper I describes a method for preparing physically mixed polymers for use as sorbent phases in open tubular tra...

High Temperature Gas Chromatography

Gas chromatography (GC) is generally believed to be restricted to the analysis of ‘volatiles’ and is less applicable to the analysis of so-called ‘heavy’ compounds. The introduction of persilylated glass and fused silicea columns, of thermostable stationary phases and of non-discriminative injection devices in capillary GC (CGC) have made the deRnitions of ‘volatile’ and ‘heavy’ very Sexible. H...

Disopyramide determination by gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography--mass spectrometry.

Disopyramide is determined in serum by gas chromatography with a nitrogen-selective detector, by liquid chromatography, and by gas chromatography--mass spectrometry. Comparable results are obtained with the three techniques, with a within-run and between-run precision of 5 to 10% (coefficient of variation). Least-squares analysis of data on patients' sera, analyzed first by gas chromatography (...
