Abstract
DURING anæsthesia, and in respiratory research, there is a need to analyse mixtures of permanent gases and organic vapours on a routine basis. Physical methods are being increasingly used for this type of work, but the equipment required tends to become complex when the analysis of several components is desired. Chromatographic analysis is discontinuous in nature, but, provided that this can be tolerated, the use of gas chromatography offers several advantages of which simplicity and versatility are the most important.
