It might be somewhat audacious To claim that some methods in GC×GC can be called nonclassical-with the relatively brief history GC×GC (about 15 years) one might argue that there has been insufficient time to establish a suite of classical methods. However, it is possible to describe a general approach to GC×GC that held a predominant position in the years up to the early 2000s. This brief review will introduce the GC×GC technique and its advantages, which primarily lie in the area of increased separation power for volatile chemical analysis. It will then outline some recent applications that are departures from the classically implemented method such as offering approaches to increasing the speed of analysis, the use of quite different operating conditions to achieve specific chromatographic goals, and the benefits and contrasting results that are obtained when ‘inverted’ column phase Arrangements are employed.
