F. Bruner et al., GRAPHITE LAYER OPEN-TUBULAR (GLOT) COLUMNS IN GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL-ANALYSIS, Chromatographia, 38(1-2), 1994, pp. 98-108
The preparation of graphite layer open tubular (GLOT) columns is descr
ibed together with their application to the analysis of priority pollu
tants and polar compounds such as alcohols, free carboxylic acids, ali
phatic amines and phenols at the sub-nanogram level. A specific applic
ation of GLOT columns is for the direct analysis of aqueous solutions
avoiding solvent extraction procedures. Several chromatograms of criti
cal separations are reported together with calibration curves. A study
of the reproducibility of column preparation is reported in terms of
the standard deviation of the capacity ratio and of the minimum HETP o
btained.
