Selection for Gas Chromatography by Specifications

Gas chromatographic column dimensions and an appropriate stationary phase are provided in Tables 3.18 to 3.21 for each designated ASTM, ERA, and NIOSH method and in Table 2.15 for USP methods. It is the goal of the authors to list in one place, as a convenient reference, tabulations of column dimensions associated with key analytical methods. The column cross-reference charts in Tables 3.13 and also provide additional column choices for any method. (The data in the following tables are also available at the Agilent Technologies and SGE Web sites.)
