Formic Acid on an Agilent HP-5 Column?

[Incitor]

Life is chemistry and chemistry can be a pain. Everything else is commentary.

I liked that so much I posted it on Facebook. Thanks again Rod.

Formic acid will have no response on FID, so you need to use PDD or TCD
Analysis is possible on thickest film PDMS, You can use 7 microns Rtx-1 on 0.53mm

I used to do both formic and acetic by HPLC on a Hypercarb column using UV detection. I believe the eluent was 0.1% phosphoric acid.
