CBST-1026Gas Chromatography
Gas chromatography is utilized to perform separations of volatile components in a laboratory setting. The set-up and operation of this type of instrument, including a headspace analyzer, will be covered. Packed columns and high resolution capillary chromatography columns will be discussed as well as the impact of the Van Deemter equation on chromatography. Various detectors and injectors will be examined, with emphasis on their operation and strengths. The chromatograms will be processed using a modern computerized data system.
