Abstract:
Fast GC relies on a combination of short capillary columns, high gas flows and rapid column heating. While the technologies of making columns and delivering high flows are now common, fast heating has seen several manifestations. A new approach to fast capillary column heating has recently been introduced. A low mass heating disk is directly pressed against a conventional column wound in a planar form factor. The low thermal mass also provides faster cooling. The performance of this fast GC will be demonstrated using several applications such as simulated distillation and environmental hydrocarbon contamination.
