Inexpensive cartridge for the collection of radioactive methyl esters from gas-liquid chromatographs

Abstract

Glass wool was substituted for anthracene in glass cartridges designed for the collection of methylated fatty acids in the effluent stream from a gas-liquid chromatograph. Inexpensive cartridges that gave the same results as those filled with anthracene were obtained.
