Tubing Material
• Stainless Steel– reactive
• Glass– can be made inert– difficult to handle
• Fused Silica– flexible– most inert– most popular
Stationary Phase Film Thickness
• Starting point: 0.25m• Compromise: resolution and
capacity• Practical operating
temperatures• Speed or resolution
Thick Film Stationary Phase
• Advantages– increased retention for
volatiles
– increased capacity
• Disadvantages– less efficient
– higher temperatures
– higher bleed
Thin Film Stationary Phase
• Advantages– high efficiency
– lower elution temperatures
– fast analysis
• Disadvantages– low capacity
– limited trace analysis
