Abstract
METHODS of using molecular sieves 5A in gas chromatography for removing n-alkanes have been described previously1,2. According to these methods, two tests have to be performed, and the results can only be calculated after correction for differences in the size of samples has been made by means of internal markers. Such a procedure sometimes requires samples larger than those available, for example, for rock-extract analysis.
