How isGCLearned/Used?
•
GC thought of, andoften taught as “Separationby
boiling point”
•
Wheremobile and stationaryphases “do chemistry” in
HPLC, inGC columndimensions and temperature
program are typically adjusted
•
GC applications are not usually optimized, and
separations are compromised to fit existing columns and
stationaryphases
•
Most phases not designedwith any application inmind,
and commonphases are similar in selectivity (-1s&-5s)
