title: Theoretical and practical aspects of fast gas chromatography and method translation.
abstract: Interest in the development and implementation of fast gas chromatography (GC) methods continues to increase. Fast GC method development and validation can be simplified and more successful if a few key theoretical and practical concepts are kept in mind. Key concepts such as speed-optimized flow rate, optimal temperature-program rate, sample capacity, "cut the column", and principles of method translation are discussed.
