DESCRIPTION

Cold Trap for Gas Chromatography (GC). Why is it usefull to have a cryotrap in your GC oven.

TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Cooling down the GC Column (CryoTrap)

Cooling down the Gas Chromatographic column.

Cryogenic focusing on the first part of the GC-column.

Page 2: Cooling down the GC Column (CryoTrap)

Cryogenic cold traps focus the sample in a narrow band at the beginning of the column by cooling a short section of the column.

Cryo-focusing is used to narrow the width of a peak, as a result the signal to noise ratio and the detection limit are improved.

A cryogenic trap is designed for rapid cooling and efficient re-heating, ensuring reproducibility and optimum peak shape.

Cold traps are mainly used with the following injection techniques.

- On-Column injections- Enrichment (multiple injections)- Air and Gas Sampling- Purge and Trap- Multidimensional- Head Space Analysis- SPME- ITEX

Trapping temperature and heating rate are very important parameters for a Cryotrap.

The GL Sciences CryoFocus-4 is the only cryogenic trap with fast heating (60°C/sec).
