A picture, so the saying goes, is worth a thousand words. You'd have to talk mighty fast to keepup with these. Restek's multimedia seminars feature dozens of animated diagrams and videoclips. Here are a couple of teasers to whet your appetite.
Partitioning This animation illustrates how components are separated as they move through a capillary column. Compounds that are not soluble in the stationary phase will spend more time in the mobile phase, resulting in faster retention times. Note the change in selectivity from Rtx-1 to Stabilwax.
Flame Ionization Detector This cutaway diagram of a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) shows the detector in use. Organic compounds that ionize (burn) in an oxygen and hydrogen enriched flame generate an electrical signal.
