A method that allows direct transfer of liquid chromatographic aqueous
eluents into capillary gas chromatography, using a programmed tempera
ture vaporizer as interface, was investigated. The method involved bot
h the evaporative and nonevaporative modes of solvent elimination and
allowed large fractions of methanol-water eluents to be transferred fr
om LC to GC. The speed of sample transfer was 1800 mu l/min and the in
ternal diameter of the column used in the preseparation step was 4.6 m
m. Working rules of the method were investigated to improve sensitivit
y for the direct analysis of trace compounds. Reproducibility was achi
eved and detection limits ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 mu g/ml of ethyl eat
ers covering a wide range of boiling points were obtained. (C) 1998 El
