Contemporary capillary gas chromatography

Evolution of Organic Analytical Methods in Environmental Forensic Chemistry

“…Lautamo, Schirmer and Jennings (1998) recently summarized column developments over the past half century. Applications were quickly being found for fuel analysis, determination of combustion products, environmental sciences, natural product research, food and aroma analysis, and biochemical and biomedical research (Novotny, 1978;Lee, Yang and Bartle, 1984).…”

Biochemical individuality reflected in chromatographic, electrophoretic and mass-spectrometric profiles

“…Most biochemical applications of GC throughout the 1970s reflect these goals: development of capillary GC for biochemical measurements [16][17][18][19][20][21]; a coincidental availability of its combination with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for important metabolite identifications; and, the overall improvements in the reliability of capillary GC as a sample profiling technique in terms of sampling and instrumentation [21]. Most of these issues appear paralleled in a later development of metabolomic approaches based on NMR spectrometry [22,23], an inherently quantitative technique, which also provides structural identification, yet on the basis of different physical principles.…”

Analytical techniques for trace organic compounds - II. Detectors for gas chromatography

“…Several excellent discussions on the choice of the appropriate capillary column and on injection methodology are available (ref. [3][4][5].…”

“…Many examples of the applicability of capillary GC for trace analysis can be found in several recent reviews (ref. [1][2][3].…”
