The Modulator in Comprehensive LCxLC
The interface between the two separation dimensions is a key element of any comprehensive LC×LC system. Recent innovations in areas such as temperature manipulation and thermal modulation have opened up the possibilities of non-valve-based LC×LC and other less conventional methods for performing LC×LC separations. This article explores the variety of commonly used modulators, paying specific attention to focusing modulators.
