Gabriel Vivó-Truyols from the Spanish Council for Scientific Research, Madrid, Spain. discusses his work on using graph theory and Bayesian statistics for peak assignment and chromatographic alignment.
Workers at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) combined a needle trap device and a dynamic headspace method to sample an aqueous BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and p-xylene) mixture.
Workers at the University of Waterloo (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) combined a needle trap device and a dynamic headspace method to sample an aqueous BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and p-xylene) mixture. The device consisted of a 22-gauge stainless steel needle filled with divinylbenzene particles. A sequential purge-and-trap approach using a syringe pump followed the sampling step. The researchers obtained 1-ng/mL detection limits for BTEX using the technique.
