ABSTRACT:
A method for obtaining reproducibility of the retention times of the components of a mixture to be analysed in an apparatus for gaschromatographic analysis provided with a capillary column, when there occurs one of the following variations: variation in the length of the column, or alternatively its replacement with a column having identical real specifications with the exception of the length, and/or variation in the pressure of the carrier gas at output from said column. The method envisages that the pneumatic resistance of the column is known and preferably measured before and after the aforesaid variations, and that a new input pressure or a new mass flow of the carrier gas will be entered into said apparatus for gaschromatographic analysis in relation to said values of pneumatic resistance.
