Conclusions
Fast GC-TOFMS
– Quantificationof actual samples similar to “accepted” technique
» Analysis time improved versus conventional GC-MS
» Sensitivity Improvement
– Analysis times of less than10minutes arepossible
– Lowpg sensitivitywith full mass spectrum
– Automateddatahandling
Rtx-5Sil MS columnperformed verywell
– Inertness, evenat low concentrations, was excellent
– Met all separationneeds
Fast GC-TOFMS shouldhave littledowntime
– Split injection
– Inert, high temperature stableGC column
– Nomass spectrometer source cleaning
Completedata comparison is available
