Upcoming Meeting To Focus On Recent Advances in Gas Chromatography

Author(s)LCGC Staff

On Thursday, September 28, 2023, the Chromatographic Society (ChromSoc) will hold a meeting focused on gas chromatography in the Science and Industry Museum, in Manchester, UK. Led by Tony Taylor and Dan Carrier, the talks within the meeting will appeal to experienced and new chromatographers alike, broadening their knowledge and helping them look at these techniques in new ways.

Some of the talks include:

  • "Approaches to Significantly Reduce Helium Consumption," by lan Parry of Thermo Fisher Scientific, in Hemel Hempstead, UK.
  • "The Use of Vacuum Assisted Headspace Solid Phase Microextraction for Analysis of Volatiles in Food," by Kathy Ridgway of Element Materials Technology, in Cambridge, UK.
  • "Fundamentals of Low Pressure Gas Chromatography (LPGC or Vacuum GC) for Realizing Shortest Possible Analysis Time in Existing GC–MS Systems," Jaap de Zeeuw of CreaVisions.
  • "Breath Biopsy Using Accurate Mass GC," Jenn Mizen of Owlstone Medical, in Cambridge, UK.

Figure 2. Split injection used to measure triplicate test of MTBE, hexane, o-xylene, and 1-methylnaphthalene comparing different solvents (methanol, methylene chloride) and column insertion distances starting with 0.5 mm, 5.0 mm, 10.0 mm, 15 mm, and 20.0 mm. Methanol had the best performance at the 5.0 mm insertion distance and methylene chloride looked slightly better at the 0.5 mm. We would still recommend not going below the 5.0 mm manufacturer recommended insertion distance.
