## Abstract A detailed method for the routine preparation of glass capillary columns is presented. The method consists of coating a glass tube with quartz powder prior to pulling the tube into a capillary. The inner surface of the capillary consists of an even distribution of quartz particles fused

Abstract
Open tubular columns of 25 and 50 ΞΌm i.d. have been coated with up to 2 ΞΌm thick layers of SEβ54 (lowest Ξ²βvalue = 6.25). Filling of the columns and evaporation of the solvent were studied as a function of column length and time. Since the viscosity of the stationary phase solution increases exponentially with concentration, the filling process becomes time consuming and high filling pressures are required. The evaporation or coating speed is shown to be controlled by the resistance to mass transfer of the solvent vapor through the coated sections of the column. For 25 and 50 ΞΌm i.d. columns, experimental evaporation times deviate little from theoretical predictions. Almost no influence of the stationary phase on the coating speed was observed. The transition from mass transfer limited coating speed to heat transfer limited coating speed is illustrated using literature data.

A method for preparation of capillary columns and traps with a very thick film (up to 100 pm) of stationary phase is described. The principle of this method is based on an immediate fixation of a film of prepolymer, formed during dynamic coating. Thus, the development of film irregularities, such as
