Q

• Packed columns or Capillary columns

• Glass or stainless steel (packed) or thin-fused silica (capillary)

• Packed columns are filled with inert particles such as diatomaceous earth or porous polymer or glass beads coated with a nonvolatile

liquid (stationary) phase • liquid stationary phase must be nonvolatile at the temperatures used, must be thermally stable, and must not react chemically with the solutes to be separated
