Don’t Let Inlet Breakdown Shut You Down: The Importance of Flow path Inertness
Where did that peak go? If you are analyzing active or heat labile compounds, this may have happened to you many times before.
This webinar discusses the importance of deactivation technologies and how they improve upon the detection of the most demanding samples. An overview of the sample path from inlet to detector will be discussed. Practical examples will be given to illustrate the benefits of an inert flow path including semi-volatiles and pesticides.
Presenter: Mark Sinnott (Application Engineer, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)
Injecting water into your GC may be convenient especially if you are working with compounds that have limited solubility in organic solvents or are working with water samples. But, there are many potential problems with water including injector and detector issues. Join us as we dive deep and explore water injections. We will discuss not only how to do them correctly, but also the many pointers to keep in mind when working with water.
