Abstract. The solvent venting injection technique has been tested for 1-pL injections of lipids in open tubular column SFC. No sample loss during solvent venting was experienced with a 7-m precolumn at elevated temperatures. The solvent venting technique has also been combined with gas purging to concentrate the sample on-line with SFC. Injections totalling 10-50 pL of sample have been performed. The solvent venting technique with minor modifications in the instrumentation was utilized for group separations of triglycerides. Different techniques for solute focusing were tested. The best peak shape was obtained by a combination of phase ratio and low temperature focusing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
