Nitrogen: The Most Cost-Effective Makeup Gas for Gas Chromatography
The global shortage of helium has caused prices to soar. Many Chromatographers are now using Nitrogen. Nitrogen improves flame shape, enhancing sensitivity. Nitrogen can be easily generated by an in-house generator, eliminating the costs and dangers of high pressure tanks. Read White Paper for more information
LCGC TV: Luigi Mondello on Food Analysis Using 2D GC
Comprehensive gas chromatography (GC) is a multidimensional technique that has the potential to increase peak capacity resolution when separating complex mixtures. In this new video from LCGC TV, Luigi Mondello from the University of Messinia, Italy, describes the fundamental principles of 2D GC, and explains the advantages over 1D GC.
