In this presentation, given at the 2019 Spring Meeting of the London Metabolomics Network (LMN) and the South East Region Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry (SERAD), Alan Griffiths, Product Specialist at LECO UK, explores the...

Would you like to break with some of your old habits and discover new ways to to streamline your daily workload leading to increased productivity? If so, this on-demand webinar presents at least 10 tips and tricks to perform easier GC.

Looking for more information on carbon adsorbents for gas chromatography (GC) and sample preparation? If so, read on...

Electronic cigarettes, or “e-cigarettes,” are a relatively new product that is experiencing a rapid growth in popularity. As a result, users, regulatory agents, and scientists are interested in assessing the safety or potential risks associated...

In this article we continue our liner discussion with a focus on liner volume. One of the most important liner design variables is the internal volume. Larger internal volumes are preferred for general use because they minimize the chance of vapor...

Here we continue the discussion of inlet liners with a focus on liner outer diameter. It is important to realize that correct liner choice is most critical for:

Selecting an appropriate inlet liner from the myriad available liner choices is a daunting task, especially when there is little qualified technical information about what differentiates them in terms of actual performance. Here we start...

Although gas chromatography has many positive attributes as an analytical tool, its incompatibility with labile and active compounds is certainly one of its biggest weaknesses. Here we discuss evidence of sample decomposition and what we might do...

Continuing our saga of split sample introduction, here we discuss measuring gas flows and liner selection for split injections.

Anyone who analyses samples by capillary gas chromatography has most likely used a split inlet. Although simple in concept, there are a few things to keep in mind to get the best analytical results possible.

I recently received a question relating to the saturation of GC detectors. The GC user was unsure of the causes of saturation, what effect saturation might have on analytical results, how to know when it is happening, and how to avoid it.

There has been a recent surge in discussions amongst gas chromatographers about switching from helium to hydrogen for carrier gas. Most GC manufacturers, column suppliers, and suppliers of bottled gases and/or gas generators have been feeding the...
