A novel gas chromatographic stationary phase in a wall-coated open tubular column embodiment was employed successfully for carbon number grouping of up to C10. This unique cross-linked and bonded stationary phase, based on alicyclic polysiloxane chemistry, displays a polarity index even lower than the widely used 100% dimethylpolysiloxane phase.

Using UV spectroscopy as a selective detection approach in gas chromatography (GC) has been demonstrated here with a diode array detector (DAD). The benefits of using an UV detector in GC were realized through effective thermal management and inertness improvement.
