NMR MIXTURE ANALYSIS USING HYPHENATION TECHNIQUES AND SOFTWARE... 

Initial results prove the high potential of LA-based hyphenated techniques for depth profiling of coatings and multilayer samples. These techniques can be used as complementary methods to other surface-analysis techniques. Probably the most reasonable application of laser ablation for depth profiling would be the range from a few tens of nanometers to a few tens of microns, a range which is difficult to analyze by other techniques, e. g. SIMS, SNMS,TXRE, GD-OES-MS, etc. The lateral and depth resolution of LA can both be improved by use of femtosecond lasers.

In pharmaceutical analysis the detection of impurities under a chromatographic peak is a major issue. An important step forward in the assessment of peak purity was the introduction of hyphenated techniques. When selecting a method to perform a purity check, one has the choice between a global method which considers a whole peak cluster (from the start to the end of the peak), and evolutionary methods, which consider a window of the peak cluster, which is...

Separation and detection methods Very interesting hyphenated techniques have been developed for the separation and measurement of organic and inorganic lead spe-... 

Before the advent of modern hyphenated techniques (GC/HS, GC/FTIR), numerous qualitative physical and chemical tests were devised for the identification of peaks in a gas chromatograa [705]. For the most part these tests were simple to perform, inexpensive, required minimum instrument modification and, in a few instances, provided a simple and easy solution to an otherwise complex problem. They still have some value today as spectroscopic techniques do not solve.all problems. 

The spectrum of new analytical techniques includes superior separation techniques and sophisticated detection methods. Most of the novel instruments are hyphenated, where the separation and detection elements are combined, allowing efficient use of materials sometimes available only in minute quantities. The hyphenated techniques also significantly increase the information content of the analysis. Recent developments in separation sciences are directed towards micro-analytical techniques, including capillary gas chromatography, microbore high performance liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis.

Major advantages of LVI methods are higher sensitivity (compare the 100-1000 iL volume in LVI to the maximum injection volume of about 1 iL in conventional splitless or on-column injection), elimination of sample preparation steps (such as solvent evaporation) and use in hyphenated techniques (e.g. SPE-GC, LC-GC, GC-MS), which gives opportunities for greater automation, faster sample throughput, better data quality, improved quantitation, lower cost per analysis and fewer samples re-analysed. At-column is a very good reference technique for rapid LVI. Characteristics of LVI methods are summarised in Tables 4.19 and 4.20. Han-kemeier [100] has discussed automated sample preparation and LVI for GC with spectrometric detection.
