Gas chromatographic column for the viking 1975 molecular analysis experiment.
A gas chromatographic column has been developed for use in the remote analysis of the martian surface. The column, which utilizes a liquid-modified organic adsorbent (Tenax) as the stationary phase, provides efficient transmission and resolution of nanogram quantities of organic materials in the presence of millionfold excesses of water and carbon dioxide.
