Summary
A Curie-point pyrolyzer using ferromagnetic tubes as sample supports has been designed to be coupled to glass open-tubular columns. For optimum operation of the pyrolyzer as well as of the separation system, independent carrier gas flow-rates may be selected. All potential contaminants diffusing from structural parts are purged without coming into contact with the sample. With full maintenance of the currently available resolving power, pyrolysis gas chromatograps free of extraneous signals are obtained for sample sizes greater than 10 ng.
