What does a split injection do?

  • A.Divides the sample between two columns
  • B.Injects the sample in two portions
  • C.Splits each peak into two components
  • D.Sends most of the sample to vent

Answer: D

A split injector vaporises the sample and passes only a small fraction to the column, discarding the rest, which prevents a capillary from being overloaded by a concentrated sample. It uses one column, one injection and produces one peak per compound. Deliberately throwing away most of a sample seems wasteful until the alternative - a badly overloaded and distorted peak - is considered. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins.
