How To Select the Correct GC Column Simon Jones Application Engineer
Open the catalog to page 1Things to Consider… • Is it Volatile enough to chromatograph by GC? • Is it a Gas or a Liquid? • How are we getting the Sample Injected? • What is the sample Matrix? – Can we do sample clean up? • Is it an established method? -- EPA, ASTM, USP • What do we Know about the analytes? • What else ‘MAY’ be present in the sample?
