Analysis acetic acid and formic acid GC-MS

Nipo

Hi,

I am trying to create a GC-MS method for the headspace analysis of solid material. I will sample the headspace of this solid material with a SPME CAR/PDMS fiber. Some of the components in the headspace are acetic acid and formic acid, but I run into some problems while creating the method for this two components.  We only want to qualify the components, quantifying the components is not necessary. We are using a HP-5 column (30m) and we prefer to analyze using this column. Here are some details from the method I use:

Injection: splitless with SPME with a injection temperature of 220 C
Oven program: 30 C with a hold time of 2 minutes; then a ramp of 20 C/min to 220 C with a hold time of 10 minutes

Many thanks!

    Thank you! I found this one earlier today, but this application note uses another column and I think that makes the difference between a good separation and a worse separation. If this is the only column which makes it possible to analyze these components I could discuss with the manager about buying this one, but rather not.
