“…In general, liquid chromatography (LC) is used for fractionation of samples in EDA studies (Lubcke-von Varel et al, 2008;Weiss et al, 2009;Grung et al, 2011), but gas chromatography (GC) is the preferred separation technique for analysis of non-polar organic pollutants in environmental samples (Poster et al, 2006;Tombesi et al, 2017;Bjurlid et al, 2018). In recent years, a new GC-based fractionation platform with a post-column introduction of a trap solvent for fraction collection has been developed (Pieke et al, 2013;Jonker et al, 2016Jonker et al, , 2017. This platform allows for fractionation during the entire time of a GC run, thus covering a complete chromatogram.…”
