Thermal desorption sampling often provides a means for bringing otherwise intractable samples to a gas chromatography (GC) column for separation and detection.

In this month's "GC Connections," John Hinshaw examines optimization strategies for gas chromatography columns in the second installment of a multipart series. He starts with a question from a reader and then discusses broader column issues.

John Hinshaw reviews the new gas chromatography instrumentation and accessories introduced at Pittcon this year.

This month's column reviews some basic GC measurements and calculations that can be applied to questions of column quality. By understanding the analytical process, chromatographers can improve the quality of their results.
