title: Method for radio-capillary gas chromatography employing a modified oxidation-reduction train and flow-through detector.
abstract: A conventional radioactivity monitor was modified by reducing the volume of the oxidation-reduction train and gas proportional counting tube to permit coupled radio-capillary gas chromatographic analysis of labeled isomeric metabolites. The utility of this radioactivity monitoring technique was demonstrated by separating 3H-labeled sesquiterpene olefins. The advantages and limitations of mass (thermal conductivity) and radioactivity detection by this method are discussed.
