This webinar teaches you how advances in GC/MS and Purge and Trap technology have improved the determination and analysis of VOCs.
Consisting of two presentations: the first, by Joel Kelly from Pace Analytical, discusses the evolution of EPA method 8260 explaining how specific GC/MS improvements have allowed the company to resolve difficult chromatography of the past with low limits of detection. The second part, delivered by Dr Bruce Quimby, from Agilent, discusses data achieved using a 8860/5977B GC/MS instrument coupled with a Teledyne Tekmar Lumin purge and trap concentrator and an AQUATek liquid vial autosampler for the analysis of VOCs to the requirements of US EPA method 524.2.
By attending this presentation you will learn:
- About advances that have been made in GC/MS and Purge/Trap technology, allowing to run method 8260 more efficiently.
- How advances in GC/MS technologies have improved sensitivity, chromatography and quickened run times.
- Key parameters for success with the purge and trap method
- An efficient way to build both the quantitation method and VOCs library using spectral deconvolution.
