Abstract
Sample material of retention time peaks of a chromatograph are exposed to infrared radiation at first and second wavelengths and the absorption of the infrared energy by the sample peak is measured. The measured infrared absorption at the first and second wavelengths is correlated with the retention time of the sample peak as an identification of the sample material. In addition, overlapping retention time peaks are resolved by detecting the change in the ratio of the infrared absorption at the first and second wavelengths as a function of retention time for a given peak.
