The authors have demonstrated, for the first time, a linked capillary gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer/Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (GC/MS/FT-IR). Although the linking of a packed column GC/MS/FT-IR has been reported, they feel the use of a high-resolution column (SCOT) significantly increases the analytical usefulness of this technique. The linking of the three provides complementary information and eliminates the possibility of comparing spectra from different components due to shifts in retention time. Examples are given by using a known mix of alkyl benzenes and a completely unknown siloxane.
