DEVELOPMENT OF THE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES FOR ONLINE HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY CAPILLARY GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY

The review passes through nearly 15 years of development of LC-GC tran sfer techniques, listing the concepts proposed and discussing the reas ons why many of them were not followed up. On the one hand, a number o f ideas should be re-evaluated in order to check whether the best choi ces were made, further elongating the list of techniques in use.
