Finnigan Application Note, (214), 1988. Funded by Finnigan MAT.

The results in this report show the capabilities of a short column equipped with a flash pyrolysis/evaporation inlet and interfaced directly to an ITD. The system has proven to be capable of rapid analysis of complex natural and synthetic materials, with relatively little loss in resolution relative to longer columns.
