We need a lot more information.
What else is in your sample besides CO2, and at what concentrations?
What are the concentration levels of CO2 that you need to measure?
Are there any other compounds in your sample that you need to MEASURE?
How are you injecting the sample?
What carrier gas are you using?
What carrier gas flow and what TCD reference flow
If you are using PLOT columns I presume you are also using a capillary inlet.
Are you running splitless of in split mode. If split mode, what is the split ratio?
I presume that the 'HP PLOT 5' column is a HP PLOT molecular sieve 5A column. This column will absorb CO2.
The HP PLOT Q column would be better for CO2 measurement, but this depends on what else is in your sample.

Hi Gasman,
We are running a CO2 flooding experiment. So we expect to produce some amount of CO2 as effluents which will be collected in 2ml vials. It is our intention to run these samples to determine the % composition of CO2 in it. That will give us a sense of how much CO2 has been produced by measuring the weight of vials before and after sample collection. Ideally nothing else is meant to be in the CO2 sample maybe just air.The concentrations therefore are unknown or so I think.
CO2 is injected using the ALS - Automatic Liquid Sampler
The GC settings is as follows:
Inlet temperature: 35 deg C, split-less – 50mL/min
Carrier gas: Helium, Flowrate: 8mL/min, TCD reference flow: 28.6 mL/min
Oven temperature: 35 deg C, max 100 deg C
Detector Temperature: 120 35 deg C
Column configuration – HP PLOT Q ( 30m x 530um x 40um)
Cheers,
Ajay.
