The chromatographic conditions for the use of a spherical carbon column at high temperatures up to 160 degrees C are described. The column heating system and the eluate cooling system are also described. Under the conditions studied, it was found that the carbon column at elevated temperature was stable and could be applicable to any compounds that are durable under these conditions. The peptide bonds at this high temperature and at this acidity were still stable enough for analysis, but the indole residues showed poor stability.
