✦ Synopsis
Reduction of the column diameter has proved to be a highly efficient tool to increase the speed of analysis. Unfortunately, the requirementsfor instrumental design with respect tosample input band width, low dead volume interfacing, and time constants of detection and registration systems are the more critical the smaller the inside diameter.
Recently we reported input band widths as low as 1 ms [l] for gaseous samples at ppm concentration levels, without any preconcentration, in a study with narrow bore columns and thermal conductivity detection.
In this study a simple versatile micro on-column cold trap/ thermodesorption enrichment system for narrow bore columns is introduced and evaluated. The combination of considerable sample enrichment and presenration of the compatibility of the required input band width with column dimensions is critically examined. The process of thermodesorption (reinjection) which is the most critical step, is particulally emphasized.
The system consists of a short aluminum coated fused silica or metal capillary with a low mass and a low cost electrical heating. Input band widths down to 1 ms are obtained without extreme demands on electrical power (300 watt). The potential of the system is illustrated with some extremely fast separations.
