Nylon Capillary Columns for use in Gas-Liquid Chromatography

Abstract

THE use of long, coated capillaries in gas-liquid partition chromatography was first suggested by A. J. P. Martin1 and was developed by M. J. E. Golay2. Compared with the conventional packed columns, coated capillaries have provided a means of obtaining very high efficiencies with comparatively small retention times. Results that have so far been published3 have been obtained from capillaries constructed from metal or glass (Desty, D. H., unpublished work).
