One advantage to liquid chromatography methods over gas chromatography methods is that ____.
A) the samples are heated
B) samples do not need derivatization
C) mass spec can be readily employed
D) runs are typically shorter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Samples do not need derivatization in liquid chromatography methods, which can simplify the process and potentially reduce the risk of sample loss. This is not necessarily the case in gas chromatography methods. The other options (heating of samples, use of mass spec, and shorter runs) are not unique advantages of liquid chromatography over gas chromatography.
