The impact of contamination on each part of the inlet is examined.
How physical and chemical characteristics are related to dirt in the GC system.
Small leaks may compromise column lifetime, increase maintenance, cause retention time shifts, and decrease sensitivity at elevated temperatures, but do they matter?
In this instalment of “Practical GC”, air leaks in a gas chromatography (GC) system and their impact on GC stationary phases are examined.
Identifying the source of siloxanes makes troubleshooting that much easier.
Since capacity is the maximum amount of sample on column before peak distortion occurs and is directly proportional to column dimensions, this instalment of “Practical GC” will expand our continuing evaluation to include narrow-bore and microbore columns with 0.25 mm, 0.18 mm, and 0.10 mm column internal diameters.
