My last blog highlighted the importance of the\u00a0indeno[123-cd]pyrene-dibenz[ah]anthracene<\/a> separation with a promise to improve runtimes without sacrificing critical separations. More importantly, we maintain the same elution profile of the original 16-minute run. The EZGC method translator conveniently translates the acquisition parameters for one column format to another while preserving the analyte elution temperatures and relative retention times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the parameters from GC_EV1604<\/a>, the 8270 MegaMix chromatogram on a 30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 \u00b5m Rxi-SVOCms column (cat #16623), we can use the EZGC method translator to generate acquisition parameters for a 20 m x 0.15 mm x 0.15 \u00b5m Rxi-SVOCms column (cat #46616). The EZ<\/em>GC Method Translator<\/a> interface is shown in Figure 1. It is important to select \u2018Translate\u2019 in the Results<\/strong> section; this insures an accurate flow translation.<\/p>\n\n\n
