## 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

✦ Synopsis
The capacity for non-polar stationary phases of the silanized inner surfaces of glass capillary columns is shown to be restricted to a 2-3 x IO-' m thick film. However, geometrical modification of a soda-glass surface by etching with NC1 gas before silanization allows non-polar silicone-oil films to be prepared with average thickness (in good agreement with those predicted from the Fairbrother-Stubbs relation) as high as 14x 10" m. Such films are stable even after conditioning at 190", and the column efficiencies, near 3000 theoretical plates per meter, were maintained. Van Deemter plots are similar for columns with average film thicknesses between 1 and 14 x 10" m, thus suggesting that the surface developed through the geometrical modification is still covered with a relatively thin film of stationary phase.
