A method is described for the on-line coupling of a normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) system to a reversed-phased HPLC system. The method employs a diamine column for on-column concentration of a selected fraction from a normal-phase aminosilane column followed by a solvent exchange procedure and gradient elution focusing of the analyte species onto a reversed-phase octadecyisilane column. No loss of analyte of chromatographic resolution is observed by using this method. Several chromatographic packing materials were investigated for use as on-column concentrators of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from normal-phase chromatographic systems. The validity of this approach was verified by determining the concentration of several PAH in Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1580 - ''Organics in Shale Oil''. 4 figures, 3 tables.
