GC column, 30 m X 0.32 mm X 3.0 m DB-1 fused silica capillary column or equivalent
4.2
The system should have the capability of up gradation in future for:
Solvent Bypass - Eliminate early peaks.
Heart Cut - Cut peaks to another column to find trace levels in a complex matrix
Backflush- Eliminate later/post-run peaks. Shorten cycle times, eliminate sample carryover, less column usage & lower detector
maintenance cost
Splitting of column outlet as per requirement to send all peaks to multiple detectors, to Obtain more information during each
run.(Find peaks of interest in unknowns)
Modulate (New)- Send faction of effluence to 2nd column for few seconds a time
