“…Steroid separations by GC were reviewed through the end of 1963 (456) as was the gas chromatographic separation of lipids (SOI, 667). The 1965 applied reviews issue of Analytical Chemistry cites several hundred references to applications of gas chromatography published during 1963 and 1964 in the fields of air pollution (22), clinical chemistry (360), coatings (589), essential oils and related products (240), pharmaceuticals and drugs (661), rubber (651), and solid and gaseous fuels (7). In addition to these reviews, the status of GC in the criminalistics laboratory has been reviewed (363) as has its application to carbohydrate analysis (67), the separa-and yield in a single apparatus, Scott (554) points out that while the choice of one of these desirable operating characteristics precludes the remaining two, some compromise in the column system may be made to obtain a reasonable performance in all three aspects.…”
