Notes:
A pyrolysis apparatus with high-frequency induction heating has been developed, which, owing to the small dead volume in the pyrolysis zone (≥ 5 μl), can be used for pyrolysis gas chromatography utilizing capillary columns without a sample split system. Thin films of the samples are deposited on ferromagnetic conductors, and can be reproducibly heated in routine operation to an accurately defined temperature (the Curie point) in from 20 to 40 msec. Microgram quantities of natural amino acids can be identified by this method with the aid of standard pyrolysis gas chromatograms. When a thin film of the sample is used on the ferromagnetic conductor, the gragments are closely related to the structure of the original compound.
