Environmental Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by Headspace Trap with GC–MS

Here are the top five articles that the editors of LCGC International published this week.

With green chemistry becoming a hot topic in chromatography, researchers from the Institute for Instrumental Analytics and Bioanalytics at Mannheim University of Applied Sciences examined gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (GC–IMS) as a greener alternative to GC–MS.

This app note outlines SPE extraction of water samples following EPA Draft Method 1634, comparing polymeric HLD SPE cartridges and polymeric HLB SPE cartridges.

GC×GC–TOF MS with thermal modulation used to provide detailed and sensitive characterisation of pyrolysis oil composition to identify possible contaminants.

Analysis of VPH in environmental samples by automated flow-modulated headspace–GC×GC–FID, for robust and efficient sample quantitation.

This study investigates the performance of a high-throughput automated thermal desorption instrument coupled to GC–MS/MS for PFAS analysis.
