title: Continuous monitoring of a changing sample by multiplex gas chromatography.
abstract: Multiplex gas chromatography (MGC) is a technique in which multiple samples may be introduced into a chromatographic system regardless of the elution time of the individual components.  Although the output obtained from a MGC experiment is not directly interpretable, computational techniques can be used to obtain the chromatogram from the detector output data.  This is done by calculating the impulse response function from the multiplexed output data.
