Comparison of Separation by MICROPACKED-ST Columns

Introduction

Barrier discharge ionization detectors (BID) are capable of detecting almost all compounds, excluding helium and neon, with a higher sensitivity compared to general detectors such as thermal conductivity detectors (TCD) and flame-ionization detectors (FID). When analyzing inorganic gases together with small hydrocarbons, simultaneous analysis with high sensitivity is possible by using a BID as the detector and the MICROPACKED- ST as the column. Until now we have introduced a number of example analyses using MICROPACKED-ST columns and now recently, 1.0 m and 3.0 m long columns have become available, enhancing the applicability of the columns. This article introduces examples of separation using MICROPACKED-ST columns of different lengths: 1.0 m, 2.0 m, and 3.0 m.
