Abstract
The mobile phase of a fraction eluted from a first LC column is removed by an on‐line evaporator in order to reconcentrate the solute material or to exchange the eluent before performing a subsequent LC separation. Evaporation essentially occurs by concurrent evaporation, i.e. the solvent evaporates at a rate equal to the flow rate of the incoming eluent, and is driven by the overflow principle, i.e. vapors leave the tube as a result of the expansion resulting from evaporation.
The liquid is introduced into a small tube (e.g., 4 cm × 1.3 mm i.d.) which is packed, e.g., with a coarse silica gel. The outlet of the evaporator is connected to vacuum in order to enable evaporation at reduced temperature and to increase retention of the volatile components. With normal phase eluents, evaporation rates may approach 1 ml/min; n‐dodecane was the most volatile n‐alkane fully retained by the evaporator.

A technique is proposed which allows introduction of very large volumes of liquid (10 ml were tested) into capillary columns equipped with short (1 -2 m long) retention gaps. It is based on concurrent solvent evaporation, i.e. evaporation of the solvent during introduction of the sample. The techniq

Use of early solvent vapor exits for concurrent eluent evaporation with the loop-type interface has two purposes: protection of the GC detectors from large amounts of solvent vapors and more efficient discharge of the vapors to accelerate eluent evaporation and help avoiding broad solvent peaks. Use
