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

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.
