  • Agilent Separation Times, Volume 15 #2, 2002 (2.3 MB)

    Abstract: In this 16-page GC columns and supplies newsletter, Agilent examines how long a GC column should last. The feature articles explains the conditions that affect column longevity and compares column lifetimes-as well as column bleed-using Agilent columns and columns from two other manufacturers. A regular article "Ask Technical Support" isolates the four main culprits that shorten column life. Another major component of column longevity is sample cleanliness. The magazine's center spread explains how to improve sample cleanup with solid phase extraction (SPE) vacuum processing. Another influence on column life is septa quality. Chromatograms comparing Agilent septa with septa from three other manufacturers reveal the significant difference that septa quality can have on column lifespan and bleed. In another article, separate trace analyses of chromatographically active compounds-a rigorous test of column quality-reveal the importance of column quality on inertness and column bleed. This study compares the Agilent HP-5 column with equivalent columns from two other manufacturers.

  • Agilent Separation Times, Volume 15 #1, 2002 (2.0 MB)

    Abstract: This issue features detector supplies and replacement parts with a special emphasis on maintenance of the FID. Also included is an application article on decreasing run times in Race Horse Drug Testing Using DB-5ms and GC/MS. The regular "Ask Technical Support" reviews a real-life customer problem, which deals with disappearing peaks. Other articles include: Considerations when Analyzing Dirty Samples, Replacement GC Columns May Not Be Equivalent, Why take an Agilent E-seminar and 3 Reasons Why You Need Agilent's Software Backup Solution.
