Question

ull suuite cänhot ionise every substance The filament is made of carbon O Both LC-MS and GC-MS have ionisation sources DQuestion 7 1 pts Explain which effect is likely to be observed when decreasing the heating rate in a temperature programme applied to the GC-MS. Select one option. O Lower expenditure of mobile phase in the separation O Increase in the resolution between chromatographic peaks O It will not affect the separation Lower elution time 1 pts D Question 8 h of the analysis which of the following statements is falset?

Explanation / Answer

The setting of the correct temperature

programme is especially important

if an existing method has to be

changed. Changes can be related to:

Moving to a different carrier gas;

(higher velocity, cheaper)

Operating at a higher linear

velocity; (higher velocity, to reduce

time)

Changing column dimensions

(shorter column, faster analysis)

Moving from a FID to a vacuum

detector (MS).

When the temperature programme

is not changed the components

will elute at different temperatures,

which will result in a different

chromatogram. the separations are

different when the same programme

and column is used at two different

linear gas velocities. Peaks move

relative from each other and even

peak reversal can happen.

The same chromatogram will

only be obtained if the elution

temperatures are similar. To realize

this, in all cases listed above, the oven

temperature programme needs to be

changed.

There are method translation

programmes available that will

calculate the new programme

conditions.

The new temperature programme (2) is

calculated. When this programme is

used, the elution temperature will be

the same and also the chromatogram

will be the same as before, but

analysis time (3) is reduced by a factor

of 1.92.
