Abstract: The present invention includes a gas chromatograph column and method of making the same that provide a substantial advance in the art of gas chromatography. The gas chromatograph column includes a first manifold defining a first internal fluid path, a second manifold defining a second internal fluid path and a plurality of tubes. Each of the plurality of tubes defines a fluid path therein, and is mountable with the first manifold and the second manifold such that the first internal fluid path is in fluid communication with the second internal fluid path. Additional features of the present invention include heating and cooling capabilities for ensuring proper fluid flow as welt as the ability to align two or more gas chromatograph columns in series or in parallel for analysis of one or more samples simultaneously.
