Introduction
Calculation of chromatographic parameters
Because the pressure at the split point is known and constant, the
chromatographic parameters can be calculated before setup. This is especially
useful with GC/MSD setups, where there are limitations on the flow rates of
carrier gas allowed into the MSD. If a method that was originally developed on
an MSD is converted to a splitter setup, a new inlet pressure can be calculated
to produce retention times very similar to the original method.
