Abstract

A comparison of the results of gas-chromatographic analysis performed for the same samples with the use of various instruments with flame-ionization detectors and different (packed and capillary) columns indicates statistically significant differences in the results of data processing by the internal normalization method. Such variations in relative peak areas were detected on the same instrument on a comparison between data obtained under isothermal conditions and with temperature programming. Conceivable reasons for the observed changes in relative peak areas and procedures for the evaluation of errors due to this effect in the analysis of various samples on particular instruments are considered.
