The 2-Dimensional GC system is similar to the TCS GC, but it also permits true comprehensive 2D separations using pressure modulation. The 2D GC allows users to modulate the effluent from the first column, which is non-polar, onto a second column, which is polar, in a series of short chromatographic slices. The polar column may be operated isothermally, or it may be temperature programmed. Peaks which elute from the non-polar column may sometimes be separated more effectively in two dimensions than in one dimension, because the flow is stopped in the non-polar column while the polar separation is achieved. Like the TCS GC, the 2D GC uses a 15-meter MXT-1 in the first oven, and a 30-meter MXT-wax in the second oven. The 2D GC also has dual On-column injectors, but unlike the TCS GC, they feature pressure-switching capabilities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
