Liquid chromatography in open tubes.
Liquid chromatography in open tubes is evaluated for applicability to clinical analysis. The principal advantages of this technique include high separation power, reduced solvent consumption, and small sample volume requirements. Technology for the production of columns as small as 8 micron (i.d.) is described. Preliminary results are encouraging and, with further development in column and detector technology, the technique should find wide applicability in clinical analysis.
