The mobile-phase flow rate and the amount of modifier mixed with carbon dioxide are the main parameters affecting peak area.

The results are in for 2012 LCGC Awards, and we are proud to announce the winners: the Lifetime Achievement in Chromatography Award is granted to Lloyd Snyder, and the Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award is presented to Emily Hilder. In achieving this honor, they join a group of illustrious past winners (Tables I and II).

Strategies for reducing analysis time in capillary gas chromatography

Turbulent flow chromatography is often used for on-line sample cleanup of biological matrices in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry applications.

Changing to a "better" liquid chromatography column may not always produce the expected results.

This validated method is faster and simpler than other approaches, and detection limits are comparable.

Here is what to do to bring an idle capillary GC inlet column and detector back to operating condition – including column installation, electronic pneumatic control calibration, system bakeout and basic test mix performance.
