Innovation in Capillary Gas Chromatography – Game Changing Developments in a “Mature” Technique
Dr. Matthew S. Klee
Agilent Technologies
Wilmington, DE
Abstract:
Even though the underlying principles of capillary GC have not changed significantly for decades, features and capabilities continue to evolve. Recent developments in hardware, software, and theory allow previously esoteric techniques to be routinely practiced today.
Improvements in implementation of Fast GC, multidimensional heartcutting, comprehensive multidimensional GC, and multidimensional detection will be discussed, with attention paid on practical implementations with current instruments. Considerable time will be spent on capillary column backflushing, which shows particular promise for reducing analysis times and improving overall data quality while providing us insight into fundamental chromatographic principles.
In traditional Forum fashion, time will be allotted for discussion of attendee problems/opportunities related to the topic. It is the perfect opportunity to have your toughest questions answered.
