Abstract
Gas chromatography systems which provide for high speed separation of polar compounds of interest from samples which also include non-polar compounds. Efficient separation is achieved through the use of a tandem series connected combination of analytical columns, one of which having a polar stationary phase material and another having a non-polar stationary phase material. In two embodiments of the invention the order of the analytical columns is reversed. Fluid flow conduits, valves and vents are provided in a manner which eliminates mechanical valves in a sample stream.
