a

See Fig. 1 to interpret data. All data are the average of the peak areas for 500 runs at the indicated slice position for the indicated first dimension retention time.

b

Number in parentheses is the signal-to-noise of the peak.

c

This is the sum of the above peak areas. The true volume is 80.0.
