Separation of toxaphene by high resolution gas chromatography

A summary is given about the separation of toxaphenes by high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC). The suitability of different stationary phases for isomer and/or enantiomer-selective separations is compared. Multidimensional and tandem techniques are also presented. In addition, problems caused by thermal degradation in the injector and on the column are addressed. Furthermore, a brief survey is included about detection methods such as electron capture detection and different mass spectrometric methods.
