Abstract
QUANTITATIVE estimation of peak areas on gas-liquid chromatograms has been carried out by a variety of methods, which include triangulation, cutting out the peak areas and weighing the cut paper, planimeter tracing and use of an integrator built into the recorder. A new method recently proposed by Bartlet and Smith1 is based on evidence that the peaks obtained with a well-designed chromatograph closely approximate a normal or Gaussian distribution curve.
