Columns for Gas Chromatography: Performance and Selection

Gas Chromatography (GC) is the most widely used method forseparating and analyzing a wide variety of organic compounds andgases. There have been many recent advancements in both packedcolumn and capillary column GC. With numerous options andconsiderations, selecting the right column can be complicated. Thisresource provides essential guidance for scientists andtechnicians, 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 injectorand detector
• United States Pharmacopeia and National Formularychromatographic methods
• ASTM, EPA, NIOSH, and OSHA column selection specifications
• Information on the advantages of computer assistance in GC andmultidimensional GC
• Comprehensive information on column oven temperaturecontrol
