The Effects of Inner Surface Roughness of Microbore Column Blanks on Column PerformanceThe efficiencies of microbore-2 columns, which are prepared from blanks that have a wide variety of inner surface roughness, drop sharply when the size of individual surface roughness features approaches the particle size of the packing material. The results suggest that two categories of packed column structure relate to the surface features and yield high and low efficiency columns. This installment of "Column Watch" discusses this conclusion in terms of the stability of an agglomerated layer of packing particles on the blank wall when subjected to shear forces during column packing.

A Flash Qualitative Identification Method for the Specific Component in a Mixture Based on Diode Array DetectorThis paper proposes a new method of flash qualitative identification (FQI) to qualitatively identify a certain target component from a mixture within half a second by disusing the analytical column, which is a time-consuming unit in current chromatography instruments. First, a Noised Spectrum Identification (NSI) model was constructed for the data set generated directly by diode array detector (DAD) without the process in an analytical column. Then, a method called vector error algorithm (VEA) was proposed to generate an error according to the DAD data set for a mixture and a specific spectrum for the target component to be identified. A criterion based on the error generated by the VEA is used to give a judgement of whether the specific spectrum exists in the DAD data set. Several simulations demonstrate the high performance of the FQI method, and an experiment for three known materials was carried out to validate the effectiveness of this method. The results show that the NSI model concurs with the real experiment result; therefore, the error generated by the VEA was an effective criterion to identify a specific component qualitatively, and the FQI method could finish the identification task within half a second.
