Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography and Water, Part I: How Much is Too Much?
Dwight R. Stoll
In reversed-phase separations, retention generally increases as the fraction of water in the eluent increases. When we encounter situations where retention is too low for an analyte of interest, we tend to use eluents with higher and higher levels of water. But how much water is too much?

GCxGC: From Research to Routine
Nicholas H. Snow
Two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) is becoming the technique of choice for analysis of highly complex samples such as petroleum, pharmaceuticals, biological materials, food, flavors, and fragrances. Here, we explain how GCxGC works and provide examples that illustrate its advantages.

The Essentials
Optimizing Sensitivity in GC–FID Analysis
It is often possible to achieve better sensitivity and lower limits of detection and quantitation using standard gas chromatography instrumentation. Paying attention to fundamental variables—like sample solvent, initial oven temperature hold, carrier gas operating mode, and thermal gradients—can lead to much improved method performance.
