色谱分离是本世纪初茨维特根据植物中不同色素分离结果首先提出来的。茨维特的实验用的流动相是液体,故实际上就是液体色谱的起源,也是整个色谱学的起源。但是近20年来,气相色谱发展十分迅速,不论是理论或实践都远远超过液体色谱法。造成这种结果的原因当然是多方面的,但其中一个很关键的因素就是检测器的问题。因为随着气相色谱法的发展, Chromatographic separation was first introduced by Zvitt based on the results of different pigment separations in plants at the beginning of this century. The experimental mobile phase of Zvette is a liquid and is actually the origin of liquid chromatography and the origin of the whole chromatogram. But in the past two decades, GC has developed rapidly, far beyond liquid chromatography in theory or practice. Of course, the reasons for such a result are manifold, but one of the key factors is the detector problem. Because with the development of gas chromatography,
