Analysis of semivolatile organic compounds using hydrogen carrier gas and the Agilent HydroInert source by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

Agilent Technologies
7 Jun 2022

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is integral to the analysis of semivolatile organic compounds in environmental matrices. In this application note, Agilent discusses how the Agilent HydroInert source retains the ability to analyze a wide calibration range and meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method 8270 calibration criteria when using H2 carrier gas.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis. Find the best GC-MS instruments and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemicals that have a low boiling point. Some VOCs are harmful to human health, whereas others can be used to determine the shelf-life of foods samples. Semi Volatile Organic CompoundsSemi volatiles organic compounds (SVOCs) are a groups of compounds that have a low boiling point and evaporate above room temperature. SVOCs include phenols and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and analyze gases or volatile liquids in a sample. It is widely used in environmental testing, food safety, pharmaceuticals, and forensic science. GC is ideal for identifying and quantifying compounds that are gaseous or can be vaporized without decomposition.
