Abstract

See full text

The pressure of a carrier gas entering a gas chromatography (GC) column is controlled by increasing or decreasing the gas pressure over a pressure change cycle by which a desired gas pressure is obtained while avoiding pressure pulses in the column. The pressure change cycle may follow a function that dictates the rate of pressure change. A gas flow controller that controls the gas pressure at the inlet or head of the column may be operated to implement the pressure change cycle. The gas flow controller may be controlled by an electronic controller.
