H. Garraud et al., TRACE ELEMENTAL SPECIATION BY HPLC USING MICROBORE COLUMNS HYPHENATEDTO ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY - A REVIEW, Analusis, 25(2), 1997, pp. 25-31
In the past few years, the need to answer to trace metal speciation in
natural samples resulted in the development of the couplings between
HPLC and atomic spectrometry. Progress was made in both domains, leadi
ng notably to the use of microbore columns. This review presents the m
ain applications of this type of columns. Microbore columns are essent
ially used in reversed phase chromatography, ion pairing reversed phas
e chromatography and ion exchange and applied to the analyses of water
samples.
