"Let's Get Small: Powerful Gas Chromatography in Small Packages: The small size and low thermal mass of capillary columns offer many opportunities for miniaturizing gas chromatographs. Small instruments offer performance that until recently was only available in full-size laboratory systems. With full laboratory capability now available in systems with smaller footprint, lighter weight, lower power consumption, fewer consumables, and simpler maintenance, the possibilities for rethinking our use of gas chromatography (GC) both inside and outside the laboratory are almost endless. In this installment, we discuss how capillary GC has been miniaturized, how these small systems can potentially perform many analyses that were reserved for full laboratory systems until very recently, and the benefits and challenges involved with considering these newer, smaller gas chromatographs for typical analytical problems" by Nicholas Snow
