Summary

A method for calculating accurate Kováts' retention indices, without the need for bracketing every compound in a mixture by two consecutive n-alkanes, is described. In addition, the method makes possible good control of the column conditions. The calculation is done using a FORTRAN program which is adapted to automatic operation and which also takes into consideration the change of retention time with the amount of substance injected.
