First deep eutectic solvent-based (DES) stationary phase for gas chromatography and future perspectives for DES application in separation techniques

Malwina Momotko et al.

Summary: This paper presents the first application of deep eutectic solvents (DES) as stationary phases for gas chromatography, showing their ability to effectively separate volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The synthesized DES was found to be a stationary phase of medium polarity with high selectivity towards alcohols, and specific interactions with certain analytes. By modifying the properties of DES, such as replacing HBA or HBD or dissolving macromolecular substances, the proposed stationary phase is highly flexible for various applications.
