Multidimensional gas chromatography has also been used in the qualitative analysis of contaminated environmental extracts by using spectral detection techniques Such as infrared (IR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS) (20). These techniques produce the most reliable identification only when they are dealing with pure substances this means that the chromatographic process should avoid overlapping of the peaks. 

The main uses of TLC include (1) qualitative analysis (the identification of the presence or absence of a particular substance in the mixture), (2) quantitative analysis (precise and accurate determination of a particular substance in a sample mixture), and (3) preparative analysis (purification and isolation of a particular substance for subsequent use). All these analytical and preparative applications of TLC require the common procedures of sample apphcation, chromatographic separation, and... 

Trace analysis is particularly attractive for SFE-HPLC since quantitative transfer of all analytes extracted to the chromatographic system becomes possible. At present, on-line SFE-HPLC appears to be feasible for qualitative analysis only quantitation is difficult due to possible pump and detector precision problems. Sample size restrictions also appear to be another significant barrier to using on-line SFE-HPLC for quantitative analysis of real samples. On-line SFE-HPLC has therefore not proven to be a very popular hyphenated sample preparatory/separation technique. Although online SFE-HPLC has not been quantitatively feasible, SFE is quite useful for quantitative determination of those analytes that must be analysed by off-line HPLC, and should not be ruled out when considering sample preparatory techniques. In most cases, all of the disadvantages mentioned with the on-line technique (Table 7.15) are eliminated. On- and off-line SFE-HPLC were reviewed [24,128].

Qualitative analysis by gas chromatography (GC) in the classical sense involves the comparison of retention data of an unknown sample with that of a known sample. The alternate approach involves combination and comparison of gas chromatographic data with data from other instrumental and chemical methods. 

A chromatographic peak provides valuable information, namely, the elapsed time from the injection point or the difference in elution times of two peaks (qualitative information), the peak shape (qualitative or quantitative information), and the peak size(quantitative information). The simplest qualitative tool is simply the comparison of retention data from known and unknown samples. A chromatogram illustrating the commonly used retention nomenclature is given in Figure 4.1. The retention time (tp>) is the time elapsed from injection of the sample component to the recording of the peak maximum. The retention volume (VR) is the product of the retention time and the flow rate of the carrier gas. Generally, the adjusted retention time (t ) or adjusted retention volume (V >) and the relative retention (rA/B) are used for qualitative analysis. Adjusted retention time (volume) is the difference between the retention time (volume) of the sample and an inert component (usually air). The relative retention is the ratio of the adjusted retention time (or volume) of a standard to the adjusted retention time (or volume) of the unknown, (see Chapter 2). 

Gas chromatographic methods for the qualitative analysis of complex systems such as biological materials and bacteria, proteins, steroids and prostaglandins, and triglycerides have been developed. 

Study of Volatile Products from Thermal Analyzers. The MC-2 mass chromatograph is ideally suited for thermal analysis or pyrolysis studies for the obvious reasons of quantitative and qualitative analysis and also for its unique trapping assembly. With the traps, sample effluents can be collected and concentrated over extended periods of time prior to analysis. 

Chromatograph Data Reduction—Qualitative Analysis. For a given substrate, under given conditions, each compound has a characteristic retention time, which can be used for tentative identification. However, two or more compounds may have the same elution lime on a particular column. In such eases the compound may be rerun on a different column with other characteristics to reduce ambiguity. Extensive compilations of individual compound retention times on different substrates arc available... 

The methods described in this unit are qualitative analysis therefore, results are typically reported as percent total peak area. Chromatographic peaks that are less than 1 % of total peak area are generally ignored during data... 

TLC, because of its simplicity, flexibility and cheapness, certainly has its place as a chromatographic method for quantitative and, especially, qualitative analysis. 

A feasible solution for this complex challenge is to implement at least two analytical methods with which the course of the reaction can be followed a fast first method that allows qualitative control of the status of the catalyst performance and a second accurate, and in most cases more time consuming, analysis method that will allow a detailed evaluation of catalyst performance. The two analysis methods can be run on one analytical unit, e.g. a gas chromatograph with two different analysis protocols, or separate analytical units such as a gas chromatograph for accurate performance evaluation in combination with a non-dispersive infrared unit for fast qualitative analysis.

Static headspace extraction is also known as equilibrium headspace extraction or simply as headspace. It is one of the most common techniques for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of volatile organic compounds from a variety of matrices. This technique has been available for over 30 years [9], so the instrumentation is both mature and reliable. With the current availability of computer-controlled instrumentation, automated analysis with accurate control of all instrument parameters has become routine. The method of extraction is straightforward A sample, either solid or liquid, is placed in a headspace autosampler (HSAS) vial, typically 10 or 20 mL, and the volatile analytes diffuse into the headspace of the vial as shown in Figure 4.1. Once the concentration of the analyte in the headspace of the vial reaches equilibrium with the concentration in the sample matrix, a portion of the headspace is swept into a gas chromatograph for analysis. This can be done by either manual injection as shown in Figure 4.1 or by use of an autosampler. 

Finally, we point out the efficacy of higher order strategies in fluorescence analysis. We have shown that when the dimension of pH is added to the simultaneous analysis of warfarin and 7-OH warfarin an improvement in quantitation results. Other dimensions may be added as well, for example, a series of excitation emission matrices may be recorded as a function of chromatographic retention time, time after delta-function excitation, or as a function of concentration of an added quencher. New strategies will be required to analyze such large multi-dimension data sets, but the benefits will be even larger--the quantitative and qualitative analysis of ever more complex mixtures. 

The usual definition of chromatography as a method of separation does not imply that a detector is involved. In TLC and PC, detectors are not required for qualitative analysis, and consequently, these simple techniques are used primarily for qualitative screening. The opposite is true for the column methods, and one normally assumes that a chromatograph includes a detector. This section deals with the general aspects of detectors like those used in GC and LC column chromatographs. 

There are many reasons for performing a chemical reaction on a sample to form derivatives. Two reasons can be identified as beneficial for chromatographic analysis the derivatization improves either the analysis or the detectability. In many cases the reasons are related to qualitative analysis, and Chapter 6 should be consulted for the more general discussion provided there. 

First of all, a qualitative analysis must precede a quantitative analysis. Perhaps it need not be a complete qualitative analysis, but it is helpful to know as much as possible about the sample. Standards must be available for the analytes to be determined. The sample must be representative and it must be stable. A good chromatographic separation is highly desirable, and the detection system must have the ideal specifications we have discussed. Decisions have to be made about the number of analytes to be determined in the sample, the level of precision that will be needed, and so on. And finally, the choice needs to be made whether to measure peak height or peak area. 

The book begins with a discussion of the basic physico-chemical aspects of reactions utilised in qualitative inorganic analysis. A description of laboratory equipment follows, and operations which include semimicro and micro techniques, and simple electrochemical, spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. The reactions of the most important cations and anions are described, followed by a treatment of systematic qualitative analysis. Sample preparation, dissolution and fusion of insoluble materials are treated in detail. A separate chapter deals with the reactions of less common ions, with guidelines to their separation and identification in the course of systematic analysis. Finally, a simplified course of qualitative analysis is given this chapter will be particularly useful where the time allocated to qualitative analysis is limited. 

Although some may think otherwise, a substantial majority of analytical chemists will surely agree that, strictly speaking, the gas chromatograph is not an instrument for qualitative analysis. As a quantitative...
