On Column Injection In Capillary Gas Chromatography

This comprehensive and unique handbook of split and splitless injection techniques has been completely revised and updated. This new edition offers: - New insights concerning sample evaporation in the injector - Information about matrix effects - A new chapter on injector design The real processes within the injector are for the first time visualized and explained by the CD-ROM included in the book. Furthermore the reader will understand the concepts of injection techniques and get a knowledge of the sources of error. The handbook also includes many practical guidelines. From reviews of former editions: "This substantial book is on injection techniques alone, which ... demonstrates this can have many pitfalls ... no one should be allowed to direct a laboratory doing quantitative analysis by GC without first being thoroughly familar with this book ..." The Analyst "This is a detailed reference volume filled with practical suggestions and techniques for managing split and splitless injection in the day-to-day world of the working gas chromatographer. It will be useful ... for anyone who must work hands-on with GC." Journal of High Resolution Chromatography

Choosing the right column is key in Gas Chromatography Gas Chromatography (GC) is the most widely used method for separating and analyzing a wide variety of organic compounds and gases. There have been many recent advancements in both packed column and capillary column GC. With numerous options and considerations, selecting the right column can be complicated. This resource provides essential guidance for scientists and technicians, including: Methods of choosing both capillary and packed columns Selection of dimensions (column length, I.D., film thickness, etc.) and type of column Guidelines for proper connections of the column to the injector and detector United States Pharmacopeia and National Formulary chromatographic methods ASTM, EPA, NIOSH, and OSHA column selection specifications Information on the advantages of computer assistance in GC and multidimensional GC Comprehensive information on column oven temperature control Columns for Gas Chromatography: Performance and Selection is a hands-on reference for scientists and technicians using GC.

Analytical techniques based on separation processes, such as chromatography and electrophoresis, are finding a growing range of applications in chemical, pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories. This series provides the analyst in these laboratories with well focused books covering individual techniques, so that they can be applied more efficiently and effectively to contemporary analytical problems. Capillary gas chromatography is one of the most powerful separation tools available to analysts working in a wide diversity of disciplines. Capillary Gas Chromatography will give practising analysts a sound theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject, giving a thorough account of the many fascinating and important developments occurring in the field in recent years. The theory is presented with practical applications in mind. Common problems encountered when using this technique, and the means of overcoming them are also presented. Capillary Gas Chromatography will be of great practical use to analytical chemists using the technique, including those in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, environmental, clinical, and petrochemical industries. It will also be invaluable for graduate students and researchers involved in the need to separate complex mixtures.
