High-performance liquid chromatography coupled on-line with high resolution gas chromatography - State of the art

Coupled LC-GC is a very powerful two-dimensional system and has potential f or substantial time saving in sample separation and sample clean-up. Moreov er, efficient elimination of interfering components, better repeatability, and improvement of quantification are possible. This paper provides an over view of the LC-GC transfer techniques developed from its introduction over the last two decades. This review is restricted to direct transfer techniqu es.
