A unique technique for high-speed gas chromatography using on-column temperature programming is described. Simultaneous temperature gradients in time and distance can be applied to a fused-silica capillary column by direct resistive heating of the column through a thin electrical conductive film applied to the outside of the column. A controlled current ramp provides a thermal gradient in time analogous to conventional temperature programming. An electrical resistance gradient provides a temperature gradient along the column, and the head of the column is always at a higher temperature than the end of the column. The gradient along the column continuously refocuses eluting bands, counteracting part of the chromatographic band spreading. The rear of the band is at a higher temperature than the front and, thus, moves at a slightly higher velocity. With a properly defined temperature gradient surface, each substance reaches a focus capacity factor that is determined by the ratio of gradients in time and distance and by carrier gas velocity. The numerical value of this focus capacity factor is independent of the substance involved, but its trajectory in time and distance along the column depends on the thermodynamics of an individual substance's interaction with the stationary phase. The theory of simultaneous temperature gradients in time and distance along the column is also described, and the mathematical expressions for focus capacity factor and resolution are included. Several examples, including chromatograms as often as one every 2 s, are shown to support and complement the theory.
