Gas-phase Capillary Column-comparison Of Special Column For Amine Analysis And Conventional Gas-phase Analysis Column

Welch WM-5Amine is a special column for amine analysis. Its surface is deactivated by alkali. When analyzing amines, it can effectively reduce the occurrence of peak tailing. In this paper, triethylamine will be used as an example. Methods The Welch special column for amine analysis WM-5Amine (30m×0.32mm, 1.0μm) was compared with the Welch conventional gas phase analysis column WM-InoWAX (30m×0.32mm, 1.0μm).

Gas chromatography conditions

Method 1:
