Recent developments in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) III. Applications for petrochemicals and organohalogens

摘要

We review the literature on comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC), emphasizing developments in the period 2003-2005. The review opens with a general introduction the principles of the technique and the set-up of GC x GC systems. It also discusses theoretical aspects, trends in instrumentation, column combinations, and detection techniques notably mass spectrometric detection. We devote attention to a wide variety of applications and to analytical performance. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
