The combined use of infrared spectroscopy and gas-liquid chromatography provides a powerful analytical tool for solving a variety of problems. A simple trapping technique is described which allows 0 4 μl of liquid sample to be examined in the infrared without use of beam condensers. Examples are presented to show its usefulness in qualitative analysis. The trapping technique is efficient enough to allow quantitative collection for analysis by infrared spectroscopy of two-component, unresolved peaks on the gas Chromatograph. Application to dilute water solutions of acrolein and acetone is given
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
