Column support-coated

Five types of columns are routinely used in gas chromatography classical packed columns with internal diameters greater than 2 mm containing particles in the range 100 to 250 micrometers micropacked columns having diameters less than 1 mm with a packing density similar to classical packed columns (dp/d less than 0.3, where dp is the particle diameter and d the column diameter) packed capillary lumns have a column diameter less than 0.5 mm and a packing density less than classical packed columns (dp/d 0.2-0.3) SCOT columns (support-coated open... 

FLOW. The rate at which zones migrate down the column is dependent upon equilibrium conditions and mobile phase velocity on the other hand, how the zone broadens depends upon flow conditions in the column, longitudinal diffusion, and the rate of mass transfer. Since there are various types of columns used in gas chromatography, namely, open tubular columns, support coated open tubular columns, packed capillary columns, and analytical packed columns, we should look at the conditions of flow in a gas chromatographic column. Our discussion of flow will be restricted to Newtonian fluids, that is, those in which the viscosity remains constant at a given temperature. 

Besides the stationary-phase selectivity, the phase ratio (volume of the mobile phase/volume of the stationary phase) is an important consideration in practical chromatography. Thus, within the available arsenal of GC columns, the efficiency increases in the following direction packed column < micropacked column < support-coated open tubular column (or wide-bore capillary column) < conventional... 

Capillary columns are of two principal types. Wall-coated open tuhular columns (WCOT) contain a thin layer of stationary phase, typically 0.25 pm thick, coated on the capillary s inner wall. In support-coated open tuhular columns (SCOT), a thin layer of a solid support, such as a diatomaceous earth, coated with a liquid stationary phase is attached to the capillary s inner wall.

The Golay equation is strictly applicable to open tubular columns with smooth walls but, with certain approximations, it can be extended to include support-coated (77) and whisker-walled (78)... 

Porous-Layer Open Tubular (PLOT) and Support-Coated Open Tabular (SCOT) Columns... 

Porous-layer- open tubular (PLOT) and support-coated open tubular (SCOT) columns are prepared by extending the inner surface area of the capillary tube. A layer of particles can be deposited on the surface or the column wall can be chemically treated to create a porous adsorbent layer. Obviously some of the wall-modified open tubular columns discussed in section 2.3.3 could be... 

A PRP -1 (Hamilton Reno, NV) reversed phase column was coated with cetylpyridinium and eluted with tetramethylammonium salicylate acetoni-trile water.89 The separation was comparable to that observed on conventional ion exchange. Coated phases were also used to separate oxalate complexes of manganese, cobalt, copper, and zinc.90 Reversed phase silica supports were coated with poly(N-ethyl-4-vinylpyridinium bromide), poly(dimethydiallylammonium chloride), poly(hexamethyleneguanidinium... 

Rasmussen [82] describes a gas chromatographic analysis and a method for data interpretation that he has successfully used to identify crude oil and bunker fuel spills. Samples were analysed using a Dexsil-300 support coated open tube (SCOT) column and a flame ionisation detector. The high-resolution chromatogram was mathematically treated to give GC patterns that were a characteristic of the oil and were relatively unaffected by moderate weathering. He compiled the GC patterns of 20 crude oils. Rasmussen [82] uses metal and sulfur determinations and infrared spectroscopy to complement the capillary gas chromatographic technique. 

The gas chromatographic determination of isomers of dinitrotoluene in seawater has been described by Flashimoto and co-workers [296,297]. These authors describe the complete separation of six dinitrotoluene isomers using gas chromatography with support-coated open tubular glass capillary columns and electron-capture detection. The method was applied to the qualitative and quantitative analyses of trace levels of isomers in seawater and the results were found to be satisfactory, with no need for further clean-up procedures.

For high-performance lAC, the preferred solid support is a glass bead solid support coated wilh either protein-A or protein-A covalently linked with the antibody through a carbodiimide bond (165, 166). In either case, protein-A binds to the Fc portion of the antibody so that the combining sites are oriented to the mobile phase. Once the protein is attached, the lAC matrix is packed into the column either as a slurry or dry. Pump-slurry techniques use buffers with a low salt content, such as Tris or 0.01 M phosphate buffer to minimize friction and denaturation of the immobilized antibody (16). If the solid support consists of glass beads, the packing can be freeze-dried after antibody attachment and packed dry.
