| Abstract: | A high temperature gas chromatograph has been developed which is capable of operating at column oven temperatures up to 500°C. In addition, the detector can operate at temperatures up to 500°C, and the injector up to 450°C. The injector on this instrument is a temperature programmable direct injector, designed specifically to introduce labile or high molecular weight samples into the GC without molecular weight discrimination. The design of this GC and injector will be described, and high temperature applications will be discussed. |
