2012-4. Retention Time Changes

What happens when the same method gives different retention times on different instruments? LCGC 30(4) 312-318 (2012) Justin Chow and John W. Dolan Erratum: (appreared in 30(6)) Equation 4 has a typographical error. It should read: Vm = 0.5 x 10^-3 x L x dc^2

2006-11. On-Column Sample Degradation

What do you do when the sample changes inside the column? LCGC 24(11) 1184-1190 (2006) Frederic Bell and John W. Dolan Erratum: The axes on Figure 1 were mislabeled. The scale for Figure 1a should be 0 – 3.0 AU and 1b should be 0 – 1.4 AU.
