A gas chromatograph and method of chromatography are provided. Analytes, those compounds to be tested, are extracted from the sample by moving the sample into a column which has a stationary phase along the column walls. The column has two sections which are different in length. The longer section is heated and the analytes move to the shorter section. The longer section is then cooled and the entire column is heated. The device then functions as an analytical column and the analytes move out of the shorter section, through the longer section, and out of the column. A detector placed at the end of the column's longer section detects the presence of the compounds as they exit the column. In an alternate embodiment two separate columns are provided. One column is used as the extraction column and the other is used as the analytical column.
