title: Quality criteria for chromatographic analytical systems of polyunsaturated fatty acids metabolites.
abstract: The most powerful technique for eicosanoids identification is gas chromatography prior to mass spectrometry. Results are highly dependent upon the choice of appropriate gas chromatographic systems; the critical point of the system being the quality of the column. Our work is intended to provide a general overview of open tubular capillary columns which can be used for separation, identification and quantification of eicosanoids.
