EPA TO-15 analysis using hydrogen carrier gas and the Agilent HydroInert source

16 Dec 2022

This application note shows how the use of a canister autosampler, an innovative trap-based water removal device, and thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD) GC/MS together with hydrogen carrier gas and the Agilent HydroInert source, allow the analysis of a range of volatile "air toxics" from canisters at 100% relative humidity, in accordance with U.S. EPA method TO-15.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.

Volatiles, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can be used to determine shelf-life of food samples. GC-MS is typically used to analyze volatiles.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.
