text: While Gas Chromatography, HPLC, and Mass Spectrometry are all excellent techniques for distinguishing mixtures of compounds (and sometimes even enantiomers), the time resolution of these measurements is less precise than that of the techniques described above. Regardless, these techniques have still seen use, such as in the investigation of the Heck reaction where the heterogeneous nature of the reaction precluded utilization of the techniques described above. and SOMO-activation by organocatalysts Despite their shortcomings, these techniques may serve as excellent calibration methods.
