SIMPLE CALIBRATED MERGING OF GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY CAPILLARY COLUMN TEMPERATURE-PROGRAMMED RETENTION-INDEX COMPILATIONS

Experimental calibration methods were used to generate gas chromatogra phic retention index offset plots to allow the comparison of separate temperature-programmed retention index datasets, for the eventual purp ose of merging them. The 8 degrees C/min on an OV-1 stationary phase s ubset of the Sadtler Standard Gas Chromatography Retention Index Libra ry was used as an initial model. After merging, individual experimenta l search windows were assigned to each of the structures from the inco rporated datasets.
