In addition to the Poiseuille effect, a so-called temporal effect was proposed recently to elucidate the commonly observed tailing peak signals of flow injection analysis (FIA). A multi-channel absorbance detector was used in this study to obtain the FIA peaks on both the spatial and temporal coordinates. The temporal effect was analyzed by comparison of the profiles between the experimental and the corresponding Gaussian peaks. and by comparison of asymmetry factors between the spatial and the temporal peaks. The temporal effect appeared to be the major factor under flow rates ranging from 0.5 to 8 ml min(-1). This was despite the presence of a spatially frontal peak observed in the FIA tubing, which was found to result in a tailing peak on the temporal coordinate due to this discussed cause. in addition, the temporal effect became greater as the flow rate increased.

Fifteen liquid chromatographic experiments were investigated using a whole-column detection (WCD) system and a conventional post-column UV/Vis detector. The peak widths obtained from chromatograms were found dependent on the retention factor; the larger the retention factor was the greater the peak width. However, the on-column spatial peak widths were dependent on the locations where they were measured in the column. The peak widths monitored at 17 cm from the column inlet were found essentially the same no matter what their retention factors were. In addition, a linear relationship was found between the chromatographic peak width and the reciprocal of the average linear rate of the solute migration. The peak widths on chromatograms did not reflect how they appeared in the column; instead, the widths were determined by the solute speed passing the detector.

A whole-column detection (WCD) system was fabricated using the parts from a typical A4 size optical scanner. Optimum layout of the fluorescence tube, beam condenser and photon transducers from the scanner made an effective devise to examine the dynamic chromatographic separation process. This system was applied in monitoring peak crossover in an ion-pair chromatographic elution. A stage-wise gradient was conducted in eluting a mixture of New Coccine and Carmoisine. Compound New Coccine lagging behind after sample injection moved passing Carmoisine at the column outlet. The complete on-column elution process could be observed directly using this detection system. This inexpensive and rugged WCD system provided a 0.3 mm spatial resolution and a 3.6 ms temporal resolution and was proven to be an adequate device to directly monitor solute retention behavior in the liquid chromatography column.
