OVImethods allow forGC/MSconfirmational analysis
to identify complex chromatograms. GC/MS
compound identification errors are common since
ketones& acetates share parent ions (43). Alkanes&
alkenes also present challenges since these
compounds contain the 57 ion. The chromatogram
shown illustrates the problemswithnon-polar phase
with this compound list. Polar compound such as
ethylene glycol have poor solubility in the dimethyl-
polysiloxane phase resulting in poor sensitivity&
linearity. The alcohols are retained less relative to the
non-polar analytes.
