title: Ammonia as a carrier gas for acidic-basic chromatography.
abstract: The influence of ammonia as a basic carrier gas on the retention of acidic and basic solutes was experimentally studied. Use of the basic carrier gas (ammonia) leads to an increase in retention of acidic solutes. A simplified theory on the influence of carrier gas basicity influence on the retention of acidic and basic solutes was developed. Contact of an inert gas with ammonia water at ambient temperature can be used to obtain basic humid carrier gas and to improve the chromatographic characteristics of amine's zones.
