Optimized Switching Valves Comparison analysis with and
Flow splitting, backflushing and Deans without backflush

switching are valuable techniques in

improving cycle times, analytical per-
formance and the robustness of GC
methods. Splitting the flow of column
effluent into differing detectors can
enhance performance, quantitation and
confirmation of targeted compounds.
Backflushing is key to reducing analysis
time and column protection. It works on
the basis of reversing column flow after
peaks of interest have been detected.
This eliminates the need for time and
temperature segments to elute highly
