ABSTRACT

Existing methods can be accurately scaled down to smaller, high-efficiency, narrow-bore columns using Restek’s EZGC method translator. With a scaled-down column, a properly translated method, and a GC Accelerator kit (when necessary), you can obtain the same chromatographic separation—often with greater sensitivity—in a fraction of the time without making a capital investment. Real world examples will be given for semivolatiles, pesticides and petro applications.
