Headspace gas chromatography uses headspace gas—from the top or "head" of a sealed container containing a liquid or solid brought to equilibrium [1] —injected directly onto a gas chromatographic column for separation and analysis. In this process, only the most volatile (most readily existing as a vapor) substances make it to the column. [2]
Two resolved peaks in a chromatogram. The theoretical plate height is given by = where L is the column length and N the number of theoretical plates. [5] The relation between plate number and peak width at the base is given by = ().
The Purnell equation is an equation used in analytical chemistry to calculate the resolution R s between two peaks in a chromatogram. [1] [2] = (′ + ′) where R s is the resolution between the two peaks N 2 is the plate number of the second peak α is the separation factor between the two peaks k ' 2 is the retention factor of the second peak.
Gas chromatography (GC) is a common type of chromatography used in analytical chemistry for separating and analyzing compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. Typical uses of GC include testing the purity of a particular substance, or separating the different components of a mixture. [ 1 ]
The fundamental resolution equation is derived as follows: For two closely spaced peaks, ω 1 = ω 2, and σ 1 = σ 2. so R s = (t r2 - t r1)/ω 2 = (t r2 - t r1)/4σ 2. Where t r1 and t r2 are the retention times of two separate peaks. Since N = [(t r2)/σ 2] 2, then σ = t r2 / N 1/2. Using substitution, R s = N 1/2 [(t r2 - t r1)/4t r2] = (N ...
PeakFit is an automated nonlinear peak separation and analysis software package for scientists performing spectroscopy, chromatography and electrophoresis.. PeakFit automatically finds and fits up to 100 peaks to a data set, at a time, enabling users to characterize peaks and find the best equation that fits their data.
Chromatography software is called also Chromatography Data System. [1] It is located in the data station of the modern liquid, gas or supercritical fluid chromatographic systems. This is a dedicated software connected to an hardware interface within the chromatographic system, which serves as a central hub for collecting, analyzing, and ...
The van Deemter equation is a hyperbolic function that predicts that there is an optimum velocity at which there will be the minimum variance per unit column length and, thence, a maximum efficiency. The van Deemter equation was the result of the first application of rate theory to the chromatography elution process.
