A new method for performing comprehensive GC×GC in the stop‐flow mode is presented. A device was used to pneumatically stop the flow in the first dimension ( 1 D) (by applying pressure pulses at the junction between the two columns), while flow was maintained in the second dimension ( 2 D). This allowed for better preservation of resolution in the 1 D of the GC×GC chromatograms, and the extension of the 2 D's separation space, reducing or eliminating the extent of wraparound. When increased flow rates in the 2 D were used, sensitivity enhancements were also observed.
