New horizons in gas chromatography: Field applications of microminiaturized gas chromatographic techniques

Fundamental considerations for the application of miniature ion mobility spectrometry to field analytical applications

“…There are two approaches to fast chromatography. The first is to ballistically heat an open tubular GC column, [67][68][69][70][71][72] and the second is to microfabricate a short GC column. [73][74][75][76][77] The response of a fast GC can be on the order of tens of seconds, with peak widths on the order of 0.5 ms.…”

Evaluation of injection methods for fast, high peak capacity separations with low thermal mass gas chromatography

“…Fast GC has been an active area of study for reducing analysis time and increasing sample throughput [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. A recent review by Tranchida and Mondello [18] discusses the use of microbore capillary columns for fast GC, and another recent review by Wang et al [19] outlines the use of resistive heating for fast GC.…”

Fast capillary GC using a low thermal mass column oven for the determination of residual solvents in pharmaceuticals

“…Recently, low thermal mass (LTM) ovens were introduced allowing very high temperature program rates (up to 18008C/min) [5]. In the technology developed by RVM Scientific (Santa Barbara, CA, USA), the capillary column is coiled and the coils are packed together with heating components to minimize the effective external surface area and power dissipation.…”
