Abstract

A laboratory-made cryogenic modulator for comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) was constructed and evaluated. Analytes were trapped with carbon dioxide and desorbed with heated GC oven air. The GC×GC system included a non-polar first-dimension column and a semi-polar second-dimension column connected to a flame ionisation detector. A laboratory-written Matlab-based program was used for the data analysis. Peak widths at half height for n-alkanes, obtained with use of new modulator, were at narrowest 60 ms.
