Popis: In recent years capillary chromatography has gained popularity for trace analyses. Most often UV or electrochemical detection is employed because the small peak volumes make post-column derivatization challenging. We have developed a simple method based on flow injection for determining contributions to peak broadening from post-column reactors. The only requirement for application of our methodology is that diffusion be in the Taylor regime so that radial concentration gradients are relaxed enabling mixing purely by diffusion.
