Derivatization Agents and Test Mixtures

Derivatization Agents

Derivatisierungsmittel und Testmischungen, Probenvorbereitung für die Gaschromatographie, Überprüfung von Trennsäulen und Chromatographen

Reaktionsschema der Silylierung von Stearinsäure mit MSTFA, Derivatisierung von Fettsäuren für die Gaschromatographie (GC)

Purpose of derivatization:

Improvement of the detection limit (especially for ECD and GC/MS) by introducing detector-specific groups
Conversion of easily decomposable substances into stable, volatile derivatives
Conversion of low-volatility substances into more volatile derivatives
Shielding of polar groups that tend to adsorb

A detailed overview of “Chemical Derivatization in Gas Chromatography” can be found in the book of the same name (in English) by J. Drozd, Elsevier, Amsterdam, ISBN 0-444-41917-9.
