Why is the injector held hotter than the column's initial temperature?

  • A.The sample must vaporise completely and quickly
  • B.The needle must be sterilised between injections
  • C.The septum requires heat to seal properly
  • D.The carrier gas must be preheated before the column

Answer: A

A sample that vaporises slowly or incompletely enters the column over a long period and produces broad or distorted peaks. Sterilisation is irrelevant, the septum seals mechanically, and the carrier needs no preheating. The injector temperature is set high enough for the least volatile analyte and low enough not to decompose the most fragile, which is another window bounded from both sides.
