Unattended Automated Standard Addition and Headspace Analysis for the Quantitative Determination of VOCs in Food Packaging

10 Oct 2012

Headspace analysis by means of a dedicated autosampler is a standard technique for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) possibly present in food packaging materials. In this application note, from Thermo Scientific, a completely automated method for analyzing and quantifying VOCs in food packaging materials is described. The combination of sample preparation steps and an analytical step by means of GC/MS allows high accuracy in quantification, high sample throughput, and minimizes error-prone manual manipulations.

TRACE™ GC columns

Thermo Fisher Scientific

The new line of TRACE™ GC columns offers reliable, reproducible columns for GC and GC/MS to meet all of your analysis needs.TRACE™ TR-1 GC Columns The TRACE TR-1 from Thermo is a general purpose 100% dimethyl polysiloxane non-polar GC column suitable for a wide range of compounds.TRACE™ TR-5 GC Columns The TRACE TR-5 column is a universal GC column used in a wide range of applications.TRACE™ TR-1MS GC ColumnsThe TR-1MS from Thermo is an industry standard non-polar column ideal for all GC/MS applications.TRACE™ TR-5MS GC Columns The TR-5MS from Thermo is a non-polar phase for GC/MS, particularly if the column is exposed to many different methods. TRACE™ TR-35MS GC Columns The TRACE TR-35MS from Thermo is a mid-polarity silphenylene-based phase ideal for all GC/MS applications. TRACE™ TR-50MS GC Columns An ideal column for GC/MS applications, often used with a 5% phenyl column as a confirmation column.TRACE™ TR-WAX GC Columns  The TR-WAX GC column is highly cross-linked and deactivated, ideal for polar compound analysis. TRACE™ TR-SimDist GC Columns The TRACE TR-SimDist column is a high temperature, low bleed column for simulated distillation analysis. TRACE™ TR-FAME GC Columns TRACE TR-FAME columns are specifically designed for the separation of Fatty Acid Methy Esters (FAMEs) TRACE™ TR-V1 GC ColumnsThe TRACE TR-V1 GC column is ideal for the analysis of volatile compounds
