Extracolumn band broadening in multidimensional systems utilizing flow switching is clearly undesirable. In certain cases, i.e. capillary recycle gas chromatography, the success of an experiment is contingent on the minimization of pre-and postcolumn dispersion of the peaks. Knowledge of these sourc

Abstract
The contribution of extra‐column effects to the height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) in capillary gas chromatography is calculated. Four extra terms are added to the Golay‐Giddings equation and evaluated in order to verify their significance. The paradox of negative A terms is resolved by curve fitting of experimental values to the theoretical function of HETP, including the extra‐column effects. The importance of the A term and the diffusion process for an injection in split mode were determined to be negligible compared to the other terms in the HETP equation. On the other hand, extra‐column contributions, proportional to the square of the gas velocity, are of significant importance. This contribution is inversely proportional to the column length.

## Abstract With recent advances in column technology it is now possible to prepare highly efficient, very inert, and thermally stable capillary columns coated with nonpolar polysiloxane stationary phases. Unfortunately, the same degree of success has not been achieved for some of the more polar po
