Faster gas chromatography and its utilization in brewing. Part 1. - Theoretical and practical aspects.

Abstract

The interest in analytical laboratories is driven primarily by the desire to higher laboratory throughput, better utilization of high-cost equipment and to reduce the time required to get results. As one of answers to these requirements the attention was focused on faster gas chromatographic analyses. In this introductory article the influences of different type of carrier gases and their pressure regulators, parameters of chromatographic columns, temperature programs and detectors are discussed.The interest in analytical laboratories is driven primarily by the desire to higher laboratory throughput, better utilization of high-cost equipment and to reduce the time required to get results.
