Regardless…OldSchool orNewThinking:
AGCMust StillMakeMeasurements
Sampling
Accepts either gas or liquid phase samples
Manageable volumes: 60 nanoliters to~100microliters injected
Boiling ranges frompermanent gases up toC
50
Pre-concentrationpossible (trap or purge& trap techniques)
Separations
Adequate resolution for theapplication
Accepts available columnmaterial
Makes use of column specificity characteristics
Adequate column capacity (sample loading)
Detection
Universal detection required suchasTCD
Hydrocarbon specific such as FID
Sulfur specific such as FPD
Halogen specific such asECD
Can accept specialty detectors (DID&others)
