Conventional Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography

In one technique a pyrolyser probe is inserted into a purpose-designed adaptor that is installed in the injector unit of a GC. Different types of adaptor are available for packed 

The choice of packed or capillary pyrolysis gas chromatography (PGC) is generally a matter of personal requirements. The type and range of samples to be analysed, the 

Advantages of this pyrolysis technique include the use of microgram samples and the rapid establishment of a reproducible pyrolysis temperature that is essentially dependent on the composition of the ferromagnetic conductor. However, the possibility of catalytic side reactions due to the heating element should not be overlooked. With 0.1 pg samples it may be possible to coat the wire with a monomolecular layer of polymer film which would greatly reduce the possibility of secondary reactions between components of a mixture.
