Gas chromatography for space research

Gas chromatography

“…Fundamental developments in radiochemical separations and analyses were reviewed by Cram (207) while Gough and Walker (368) cited 287 references in comparing the performance characteristics of the various GC detectors. Other reviews provide a literature survey of thermal conductivity detectors (783), the characteristics of a great variety of detectors (431), integrators (674), pressure (flow) programming (296), GC in space research (132) including some Russian space probes, on-line digital computers (862), and column switching (178). The present status of molecular adsorption chromatography (537) and the construction of laboratory-built GC instruments suitable for teaching (650) are the subjects of two other reviews.…”
