Summary
The performance of the Shandon UK3 gas chromatograph (incorporating a katharometer detector) was examined critically under various experimental conditions such as column flow rate, temperature changes and detector current. The work was done to establish optimum conditions for the identification of medical gases, i.e. compressed air, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide and Entonox. Certain light hydrocarbons were also studied with a view to finding suitable internal markers. Porapak Q (PQ) and a molecular sieve (MS) were used as stationary phases.
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.
