Summary
The availability of gas chromatographic detectors selective for phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and halogens and the possibility of their simultaneous operation with each other or with conventional universal detectors has tremendously increased the amount of qualitative information that can be gathered from an unknown sample. Selective detectors when used simultaneously permit the calculation of percentage ratios of heteroatoms which represent additional information for qualitative identification. Combination of parallel columns with selective detectors reduces the total time needed for analysis and introduces additional information due to the different polarity of the columns.
