Abstract:
While GC×GC has been heavily adopted in R&D labs, it is rarely applied for routine analyses. The thermal modulation devices which have dominated GC×GC literature require a cryogen fluid to modulate volatiles in the C4-C8 range – meaning additional running costs and extra hassle. Here we discuss a new commercial design of flow modulator, based on proven reverse fill/flush dynamics and demonstrate proof of performance with a variety of detectors.
Simple yet effective data processing will also be demonstrated, proving that GC×GC can be a productive member of any high-throughput laboratory, by enabling sophisticated data navigation and streamlined workflows.
