Video-taped sample evaporation in hot chambers simulating gas chromatography split and splitless injectors. II. Injection with band formation.
The processes in devices imitating a vaporising injector were video-taped using perylene as a fluorescent marker for non-evaporated sample. Processes are summarised which are observed after the sample liquid passed through a cool needle and left as a band of liquid moving at high velocity (as typical for injection by fast autosamplers). This liquid is shot past the column entrance unless stopped either by a packing, e.g., wool or by suitable obstacles. Packings of low thermal mass are locally cooled to the solvent boiling point and suck in the liquid. Stopping the liquid by obstacles is more difficult because solvent vapours prevent contact of the liquid with the hot surfaces, and was reliably achieved only by the laminar liner. For the same reason, transfer onto the liner wall only occurs for higher boiling liquids.
