Abstract
A method is described that allows a predictable reproducible continuous variation of column polarity. It permits a controlled peak shift of individual peaks in chromatograms of complex samples by means of coupled (tandem) capillary columns. The columns which have a different
polarity are coupled via a "Deans type" switching device in between the columns.
Considering the effects of the nature of the stationary phase, film thickness, column length, column temperature and pressure drop across the coupled columns, it appears that a required tailor-made polarity can be calculated and achieved with a high degree of reliability. The actual and predicted column polarity and peak position or peak shift of an individual peak are in surprisingly good agreement (<0.5 Iu).
