Question

In this technique, ferrules made from Vespel or graphite can generate a leak-resistant seal. In this technique, PTV inlet or multimode inlet devices are useful for processing large volumes. This technique may be performed using a capillary whose inner lining is covered with either a liquid film or diatom·aceous (“die”-uh-tom-AYSH-us) earth; those are wall-coated and support coated open tubular devices. In this technique, (*) temperature programming mitigates the general elution problem. (-5[1])This technique’s (-5[1])output can be processed non-destructively by measuring its thermal conductivity, but if greater sensitivity is needed, a flame ionization detector should be used. Inert substances like helium are used to make (10[1])the mobile phase in, for 10 points, what chemical technique that uses a column to separate vaporized compounds? ■END■ (10[2])
