Tech Tip 20: Miniaturisation in GC laboratories – Part VI

Method miniaturisation is the squeezing of as many instrumental and analytical parameters as possible to optimise efficiency. Variables that can be examined include extraction solvent, extraction technique, injection onto the column, separation on column, quantification via the detector and finally the cycle time of one analytical run. As we strive to make the method more robust we should improve quality, obtain an equivalent if not better Limit of Detection (LOD) and deliver the result more quickly and hence more cheaply.

Tech Tip 13: The importance of the use of the correct liner for the sample introduction technique selected

In the Sample Introduction section of our Complete GC & GC-MS course we highlight the importance of selecting the correct liner style for the injection type that you are going to perform. Here are some of the questions to ask.

Tech Tip 12: Use of Autosamplers – Part II

Modern autosamplers have become much more versatile and sophisticated than their original antecedents, so that they are not merely a device for replacing manual injection, they can now offer many options and improvements to the introduction of liquid and gaseous sample aliquots into a gas chromatograph. However, as with most analytical equipment, each function needs fine tuning to produce the best results.
