We are frequently asked about issues with reduced peak size in gas chromatography (GC), and I’m guessing this is related to just how difficult this problem is to troubleshoot. Fear not. What follows is our logical guide to locating and fixing the issues with loss of sensitivity, and we’ve tried to cover as many of the instrument and application issues that we can think of.

For this brief piece we have elected to focus on three aspects of recent work by the 2D-LC community that we think are especially noteworthy: 1) Movement toward “generic” 2D-LC methods; 2) development of ultrahigh peak capacity methods; and 3) solutions that address the “solvent mismatch” problem in 2D-LC.

Water-soluble macromolecules require water as a mobile phase, and method development therefore seems to be straightforward. At second glance, however, aqueous gel permeation chromatography/size-exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) is complex and the choice of the stationary phase and pH are crucial. In addition, mobile phase additives are often required to allow for interaction-free separations.
