Using retention time indices specific to eachof the stationary
phases in combinationwith the abundance values&peakwidths
values from theVMS phase;model chromatogramswere
produced. Since column efficiencymay changewith each
stationaryphase onlydifferences in retention timewill be
examined. The abundance andpeakwidth informationwas
loaded into the program toproduce sample chromatograms as a
visual aidonly.
The first step in the column comparisonwas todetermine the
effectiveness of EZ-GC
®
by comparing our knownVMS
chromatogramwith amodel. Retention timeswere collected for
these compounds under fast and slow conditions andwere
entered intoEZ-GC
®
. The application chromatogramwas
modeled using this fast/slow data. The diagrambelow shows
the difference between the actual chromatogram and themodel
to be 0.01minutes.
