Automated high-performance aminosilane silica packed microbore liquid chromatographic (HPLC) fractionation is coupled on-line to capillary gas chromatography (GC). Under normal-phase HPLC conditions, aliphatic compounds are unretained while one- to four-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons elute according to ring size and are detected by ultraviolet absorbance. HPLC fractions of 100 ..mu..L are transferred directly into the GC through a 10-port valve interface and a 25-m retention gap. Individual components are resolved by temperature-programmed capillar GC with flame-ionization detection. A two-dimensional model of HPLC/GC retention indexes is used to identify two- to four-ring polycyclic aromatic compounds in diesel fuel.
