Abstract: A first-dimension-guided differential scaling algorithm of the contour plot in comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (2D GC) system is developed by incorporating both 1D and 2D chromatograms obtained by first and second detectors. This differential scaling method is shown to significantly improve 2D GC results in terms of retention time accuracy and consistency, peak width and hence peak capacity, and analyte quantification accuracy, which are inevitably affected by the modulation period and phase shift in modulation when the conventional contour plot reconstruction methods. Furthermore, the differential scaling method is shown to better handle the coelution and missing peak issues often encountered in the conventional methods. Finally, the differential scaling method exhibits high versatility in detector selection, which greatly broadens the 2D GC utility and can be easily adapted to other 2D chromatography systems.
